    Can anyone share the origin of the Windows naming convention (using PascalCase for functions, and some UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES for types)? This came before Dave Cutler and appears to even be pre-Simonyi. @BillGates? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_1.0 …

        And did this naming convention arise originally in C or in Pascal? It reads more cleanly in Pascal’s “Name:TYPE” syntax than in C’s “TYPE Name” syntax.

        I like to tell myself the story that Windows was originally written in Turbo Pascal.

        The 16-bit Windows APIs used the __pascal calling convention. Was Pascal the intended Windows platform language at some point in the early 1980’s, before C was predominant?

        Not sure but once had to read the source code for NT4 back in the 90’s and it was worse in there. A function header read like: Void FunctionName ( Float parameter, Int parameter, ) { <...> } It wasn’t obsfucated code either...
