I used to use upper and lower case to distinguish variables from
function names and the like in previous languages, (leading lowercase
for variables, leading uppercase for functions or labels), but
dropped it in REBOL, "there only being words in REBOL". Here's an
example from one of my first REBOL scripts (before I'd been pointed
towards the style-guide - all non-REBOL words I'd give the uppercase
treatment to)...
NoChange: [
LowWait: WaitAmount
if WaitAmount < WaitMax [
WaitAmount: to-integer (WaitAmount * 2)
if WaitAmount > WaitMax [WaitAmount: WaitMax]
do UpdateSpeed
]
]
And how we're supposed to write it...
no-change: [
low-wait: wait-amount
if wait-amount < wait-max [
wait-amount: to-integer (wait-amount * 2)
if wait-amount > wait-max [wait-amount: wait-max]
do update-speed
]
]
Take your pick I guess, but the "proper" way seems easier on the eye
(and the shift-key:) though its look could depend a lot on the font
you're using I guess.
