A nitpick, but why is Ada in all caps in the title? It isn't in the article, nor is the name an acronym.
- aleksandrm 6y agoThought this was about accessibility stuff.
- civildude 6y agolike c$ADA
- ivan888 6y agoThere's no real reason for it to annoy me so much, but I was just thinking about how I can't stand when people seemingly randomly capitalize words relating to technology without the intention of drawing emphasis to them: GIT, NODE, JIRA, JAVA... why??
- nerdponx 6y agoI think people sometimes like to imagine that these things are acronyms even though they aren't.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoI think people sometimes JUST do it for NO good reason other than to DRAW emphasis
- joshuaissac 6y agoIn the case of Jira, it was in the past officially stylised by Atlassian as JIRA.
- carabiner 6y ago@dang Yeah, I don't think this should be in caps. Ada was the woman's name.
- zdragnar 6y agoProbably an autocorrect; the language is less commonly used than the Americans with disabilities act.
- AlgorithmicTime 6y agoI thought we were talking about Air Defense Artillery for a minute.
- 0xDEEPFAC 6y agoYes, the language is named after Ada Lovelace - a person credited with writing one of the first computer programs. It is not an acronym.
- dang 6y agoHard to say; it was submitted like that. To me ADA means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Ac..., so I've recased the title above.
