These days, all caps makes me go look for SQL keywords in the text...
Capitalization in general is a bit weird, being a bit of an afterthought in western writing. And applied a bit haphazardly. I mean, as a German, I'm used to Capitalizing A Lot More Frequently, on the other hand, I still think writing I is a bit presumptuous.
As for programming languages, it's not just about capital when people get into arguments between CamelCase and snake_case, there's also spacing. Although Ada_Case seems to be pretty rare…
Was it Modula-3 that had KEYWORDS writ large?
- eropple 12y agoIt wasn't required, but I habitually capitalized keywords in QBasic. Did not enjoy when Visual Basic tried to correct me about that. These days I still do it for SQL, though!
