I LIKE PROGRAMMING IN ALL-CAPS. IT MAKES EVERYTHING I WRITE LOOK OFFICIAL, NO-NONSENSE AND GENERALLY HARD-CORE. INSTEAD OF HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THE COMPILER I INSTEAD SHOUT!!! COMMANDS AT IT.

Oh so clever to make fun of FORTRAN.

This is how the modern FORTRAN Hello world looks like...

     program hello
          print *, "Hello World!"
     end program hello
I was actually partly serious. I voluntarily program in all-caps fortran because I think it makes my code look old/funny/the things I said.
Fortran has not been all caps after 1991, when the Fortran 90 standard came out. You knowledge is 24 years old.
Yeah, I know. It's just that I like programming in an old-school way for fun. I briefly considered not using structured programming at all, but that's kinda too much.
