I kind of disagree. Programming on a 6-bit (aka UPPERCASE only) platform is a legitimate pursuit. The K&R C programming language specifically permitted it, so to also PL/I, FORTRAN, COBOL... etc. There were and are still many legitimate CPU architectures that are intrinsically 6-bit, hence UPPERCASE. --2011-05-31T05:04:55 NevilleDNZ
:But 6 bit could just as easily be all lower case as all uppercase. And there are other characters that would also be eliminated if this were really being targeted at a 6 bits-per-character platform. Meanwhile, some languages become unusable with this "all uppercase" constraint. Mind you, it's a cute constraint. But it's also silly. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:15, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
