- peter-fogg 13y agoI find that I dismiss pretty nearly anyone who refers to a programming language in all caps. Outside of FORTRAN, COBOL, and C.*, it just looks ridiculous -- SCHEME, ERLANG, LISP, JAVA...
- JulianMorrison 13y agoRule: you're allowed to use all caps to name any language that originally had to be programmed on terminals without lowercase letters.
- innguest 13y agoSo LISP? :)
- hboon 13y agoAlso add a special case "SmallTalk" for instant dismissal. It's Smalltalk.
- bigiain 13y agoHeh, of _all_ languages – you'd have thought Perl would end up with CamelCase. "PeRl" – nah…
- VintageCool 13y agoPHP?
- LeafStorm 13y agoMy preferred definition of LUA is "Lua Uppercase Accident." ;-)
- dkd 13y agothat's recursive. :)
- baddox 13y agoMaybe they're just yelling the name of the language.
