Lua gets this, as well, except in Lua's case, it never even had an acronym associated with it.
People who type LUA insta-brand themselves as outsiders.
My preferred definition of LUA is "Lua Uppercase Accident." ;-)
that's recursive. :)
I 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...
Rule: you're allowed to use all caps to name any language that originally had to be programmed on terminals without lowercase letters.
So LISP? :)
Also add a special case "SmallTalk" for instant dismissal. It's Smalltalk.
Heh, of _all_ languages – you'd have thought Perl would end up with CamelCase. "PeRl" – nah…
PHP?
Maybe they're just yelling the name of the language.
