I was just dealing with case typos in a C++ program this morning. I wasted a 
few minutes with stupid mistakes. It is making me consider converting the whole 
thing to Nim because of that and other issues.

The FAQ on this is totally correct.

You absolutely should not get rid of this style insensitivity. It is a 
significant improvement on language design that Nim has made. MyName and Myname 
should not be considered two different things and you should not enable people 
to operate like that.

I think you should consider the responses here to be votes.

I do not think you should use some polling feature or site to create a vote 
because that encourages drive by votes from people who just are unfamiliar with 
the feature and dislike it just because of that. People want things to be the 
way they are used to and their brains automatically rationalize whatever that 
is.

If people want to vote they should have used Nim for a bit and come in here and 
state their case. Which actually then we should explain why they are wrong if 
they say to change it.
