Line 22:
::Hmm. LISP is its proper name, and since it's an acronym, it seems to me more appropriate to keep it in caps. [[Perl]], for example, is in lowercase, since it was [[backronym]]ed, and is not really supposed to be in caps. [[COBOL]] remains uppercase, without the "programming language" suffix. [[Fortran]] has no suffix either. Convention seems to say leave it as is... -- [[User:Wapcaplet|Wapcaplet]] 00:58 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)
:::"LISP" is long-obsolete; look at 2nd edition ''Common Lisp the Language'' from 1990 for instance, it's always spelled "Lisp", in contrast to 1st ed., which used small caps. I'd personally prefer [[Lisp (programming language)]] because someday we might have spiffy software that filters ()-disambiguators in article headings and such, but [[Lisp programming language]] is OK too.
