I love Nim and wish it would take off and become as common as python. Case sensitivity isn't affecting that for me. But it still really irks me.

There are times when you might want to use the same variables in different cases (math), and the assumption that you wouldn't seems like nannying to me.

Also, fundamentally, it's a very english-centric view and encourages that by default. I'd prefer case assumptions weren't implicitly baked into the language at a basic level.

I guess for me I just feel like a character is a character and I don't want the language telling me I should view it differently.

In math, most variables are a single letter, so style sensitivity wouldn't really apply.
