- Yeah, but in C the keywords are lower-case, and you can have lower-case variables.
- So you can write programs in C without touching shift or caps lock, whereas in E,
- you need ALL CAPS for keywords, variables HAVE to be lowercase (at least the first
- two letters), so you're either holding down shift half the time, or turning caps
- lock on/off all the time... It gets annoying.
