> Why can't someone else do it?

Fair enough, somebody else can do it. My work is then only to review the patch. 
The problem is though, that on top of the "it's work for me" argument, I don't 
want the feature. I don't see the point. The conflicts that do arise are all 
about ALLCAPS and I don't want ALLCAPS in my language to begin with, it's hard 
to type and hard to read.

> And note that GoLang has a different novelty

Come on, that's ridiculous. Java did that decades ago. The only thing that Go 
does new is the Uppercasing for export feature which is completely silly since 
it means a _rename_ is used to turn something private into public. (Something 
which happens often.) (It also means you cannot export a Chinese identifier 
without giving it an ascii prefix ...)

_Shrug_, so are the people who don't like indentation based syntax. "Designing 
for popularity" doesn't work for me, I don't want to design TypeScript.
