@cedric “it’s a bit limiting to just completely ban all uppercase identifiers and it can lead to code that’s harder to read when you read that code in something else than your IDE of choice” the point of the blog post above is that constants are really not that important to make them ALL UPPERCASE, regardless of the editor/IDE you use. Uppercase made sense in the past in C when it didn’t have real constants and used macros instead. I don’t know why exactly java constants are uppercase but seems likely that it’s C influence.
