- Animats 11y agoThe upper case keyword thing is annoying. In ALGOL-60, the keywords were supposed to be in lower case bold type. When algorithms were published in Comm. ACM, they were, but computers printers and displays of the time couldn't do that. Displaying keywords in bold, and string constants in italics, would be a nice editor feature today. It would look better than syntax coloring. If you had an editor with enough smarts to line up the comments, you could even use variable-width fonts.
