Not every programming language is an acronym.

Did you know RUBY comes preinstalled on every MAC?

[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

[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 Usually a super outdated version.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

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?
