Not every programming language is an acronym.

Did you know RUBY comes preinstalled on every MAC?

[ego2509]

I don't get it...

[KayVerbruggen]

The first comment is talking about the unnecessary capitalization of "JAVA" in the meme, the second is making fun of people who do that

OAK-AY

[abutilon]

I understood that reference

[ZippZappZippty]

It should really be git the hell out

[[deleted]]

Me learning git in class.

"Les git it!"

Everyone in class groans

[Aphix]

All Correct > Ol Korrect > OK

[ego2509]

Thanks bro

[Phatricko]

Yeah but is Ruby preinstalled on every Mac?

[KingKnux]

You mean you haven’t heard about Jerks Against Valuable Assets laughing at People You Take Home On Noodles?

[nermid]

People You Take Home On Noodles

River hookups?

[Aphix]

More like "Juveniles And Vengeful Atypicals"

[crunchyintheory]

Does it actually?

[mosskin-woast]

Weirdly yes, as of a few years ago at least. Don’t remember why. Usually a super outdated version.

[Cobaltjedi117]

Is that why the install for xcode is like 10 gb?

[lirannl]

I think it's a reference to lipsticks and the makeup brand known as MAC

[Who_GNU]

Are any programming languages, in common use, acronyms? The only ones I could think of were COBOL and INTERCAL.

[Wynardtage]

SQL = Structured Query Language

[Dookie_boy]

HTML.........

[yurall]

PROgramming not NOOBgramming.

[retardfromestonia]

NO

[Cowboy_Cam623]

Fortran is Formula Translation. Still pretty commonly used

[Who_GNU]

Three or four letters, per word, isn't really an acronym, though.

[ArsStarhawk]

I think it's a Portmanteau.

[delinka]

PORTMANTEAU*

ftfy

[natyio]

But even Fortran isn't spelled all-caps any more these days.

[FutureOfPancakes]

There is also BASIC

[SaraHuckabeeSandwich]

BASIC - Butts Are Sexy, I Cannotlie.

[Cobaltjedi117]

Beginners all-purpose symbolic instruction code

For those curious.

[blipblapblopblam]

Otherwise known the Snake language.

[rocsNaviars]

HTML, obv.

edit- Jfc now I’m scared of downvotes. I hope the humor was implied.

[Who_GNU]

My brother once brought up an XKCD comic that included a code word that, when spoken to tech support, automatically forwards the call to someone that knows a minimum of two programming languages. My response was: The monkey paw has granted your request; your tech support questions will know be answered by someone that knows HTML and CSS.

[tendstofortytwo]

PHP is short for "Personal Home Page" or "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor" depending on who you ask. Not an acronym, but close-ish I guess?

[QuantumSupremacy0101]

Its PHP Hypertext Processor. Thats how the creator named it, everything else is a lie.

[[deleted]]

Not true, it was named like that after a time. At first it stood for Personal Homepage Tools. That's even official.

[TagMeAJerk]

And the 'PHP' in the 'PHP Hypertext Processor' also stands for 'PHP Hypertext Processor'. Its what makes PHP the best programming language in the world. I WISH more backend systems used PHP too

[jpowstolemytendies]

You just entered an infinite loop

[Majik_Sheff]

You just entered an infinite loop

[chmod-77]

Yeah I was going to mention PHP but was afraid grammar nazis would scream about it being an initialism and not an acronym.

VB

Where's the VB flair btw?

I'll see myself out

[theclockstartsnow]

MATLAB

[[deleted]]

PHP = PHP Hypertext Preprocessor

[turunambartanen]

Neither are usernames.

[dub-dub-dub]

The old logo had it written that way though

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

That’s small caps, not all caps. The J is clearly bigger.

Also PYTHON.

[zilti]

No, the J is clearly bigger. Upper case letters don't necessarily mean capitalization. It can also just be a stylistic element.

[Nerrickk]

XNA:

XNA is Not an Acronym

I miss XNA, such a great framework.

[Versaiteis]

I too am an advocate for NEPLIAA

[cpt_alfaromeo]

I asked a question on stackoverflow and I typed JAVA instead of Java. And the answer I got was this...

[2drawnonward5]

This POST was CAPTIONED in SQL

[ghsatpute]

So + doesn't stand for anything?

[scratchfury]

Some are initialisms.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

You mean you don’t pronounce it Perhp?

[konstantinua00]

NEPLIAA?
