All caps haven't been a part of the language since Ada83, go check the follow up spec, Ada95. Maybe you're thinking of Niklaus Wirth's languages, the Modula's and Oberon?
- p_l 6y agoWirthian languages seemed to keep the 6bit symbol encoding of the original Pascal, where the symbols and keywords ended up case-nonpreserving. Was that changed at any point with Modula or Oberon? I never have seen any code with all caps.
- claudionaoto 6y agoOberon is case-sensitive and all keywords are all caps. I was curious to see it because I like Object Pascal/Delphi, that was the most distracting part of the language coming from Delphi standards.
- pjmlp 6y agoThat approach used to be chosen by many languages, because it is the best alternative to syntax highlighting when none is available.

I was curious to see it because I like Object Pascal/Delphi, that was the most distracting part of the language coming from Delphi standards. Yeah, it's horrible to see and worse to type. I took Oberon-2's grammar and changed it to a more Ada like one for a project I'm working on.
