I assume you are being sarcastic here...

If not...  Of course, Emacs has a builtin language for such tasks.  It
also has keyboard macros, which is what I would probably use for this
task:

    C-x (   M-f M-\ M-c   C-x )

{Start macro, forward word, delete space, capitalize word, end macro}

    followed by:  C-x e

to (re-)execute the macro.

You can even save a keyboard macro into a file and reload it later, or
edit the saved macro (carefully!).  I have a gigantic keyboard macro
(for processing a particular LISTSERV digest) which grew from humble
origins to its current size.  In this case, it's much easier to keep it
as a keyboard macro rather than transliterating it into elisp.
