Nim is written in Nim and no one has run into this style insensitivity confusion despite many people contributing. If your project is smaller or fewer people and you still think this is a big issue, good luck. And if it is larger, this is the least of your concerns.

Think in reverse, is it a useful language feature to have MyNimName, mynimname, MY_NIM_NAME, My_Nim_Name, __MYNIM___name_ be different? When did you need this flexibility recently? Are we really so limited at naming things appropriately?

It's fine to make a big deal about something in theory but if it really was such a dumb idea it would have died over the decade Nim has been around. It was debated again prior to 1.0 and persisted, several good reasons are also mentioned in this thread. And it isn't even an original idea as brought up by several others.

If this is the reason someone doesn't try Nim then it's only unfortunate for them. Add this to the tabs vs. spaces, curlies vs. whitespace indentation or other so called concerns which make no difference in the grand scheme of things.
