Can't Get SavedVariables to Work...

Oiy!!! I HATE case-sensitive programming languages...as you can tell, I'm used to non-case sensitive languages like VB...

Anyway, is there a design environment program out there that is specifically designed for wow addon programming? It would be nice if an IDE could catch things like that rather than having to bug other addon programmers...

Better start adjusting. All the non-toy languages I've ever encountered are case sensitive.

There were some (AddOn Studio was one such, iirc), but I don't know if they've ever been updated. Also...

...none of them would "catch this" in any case. Decide on a capitalization scheme for your code and stick with it. Maybe C-style lower_caps_with_underscores has a particular meaning, and Pascal/Java-style UpperCamelCase has another specific meaning. Or use all a single style, whatever.

Then start using underscores and stick with all lowercase, such as "option_a".

dot dot dot... are there even any programming languages out there besides VB that are case-insensative? I thought that was the universal standard...

Eiffel is case-insensitive.
Pascal is case-insensitive.
PHP is case-sensitive for variable names, case-insensitive for user-defined classes/functions and built-in constructs/keywords.

I'm sure there are other examples but, to be honest, most real-world programming languages are case-sensitive.

Well I mean, it only makes sense anyway, programers are OCD after all...

All functions and classes are case-insensitive in PHP, not just user-defined.
