Personally I think programming languages should always be uppercase or always be lowercase. No proper noun programming languages.It's python and ruby, not Python and Ruby.It's C and APL, not c and definitely not Apl.Swift and Java? Wrong. Bad programming languages. Make SWIFT an acronym and understand java is a programming language and Java™ is a product

@foone they should do the same with human languages. Actually in Finnish, the names of many languages are identical to the names of countries, except countries are capitalized and languages aren't

@foone Can Haskell get an exception? It was a personal name before it was a language name.

@KaiserOfNone ugh. Back in college I took databases from a guy who had learned SQL in the 80s so he wrote it in all caps but he did it by holding shift, which kept triggering sticky-keys when he'd pause his typing to tell us something. He couldn't turn it off because of the security software so he had to reboot every time.It meant a 50 minute class featured about 10 minutes of watching windows boot

@foone My proposal: Interpreted languages are lower case because they have command line repls of the same name and find lines are always lowercase.Compiled languages don't share a name with a command and so can be proper nouns.And under this standard Java is wrong twice over so... Yay.

@nonnihil I think you hit the nail on the head with the interpreted vs compiled. That's probably EXACTLY why it's like this in my head.
