Yes, like Modula-2 as well.
However, people always forget we don't program in Notepad, rather programmer editors that are able to do automatic capitalisation of keywords.
It is a non problem, like discussion of parentheses or white space in programming languages that require them.
- tengwar2 7mo agoDoes the editor in this environment do automatic capitalisation? I have to say that when I used Modula-2, editors were very simple and banging away on the shift key or caps lock was a real irritation.
- pjmlp 7mo agoNot directly if I remember correctly, but there are OS formatting tools. Windows IDE tooling for Modula-2, or using something like XEmacs/Emacs or Brief.

- musicale 7mo agoHow does automatic capitalization solve the EMPHASIS problem ? For that matter, how do syntax-aware editors solve the problem of finding significant spaces (Python) or parentheses (Lisp) unintuitive, confusing, or simply unpleasant?
