Then create your own language.
And no, it was NOT "introduce in the first place because those stupid
unix programmers didn't know any better". They knew what they were
doing, and had a lot more experience than you did. They were also able
to create a language, compiler and operating system - all of which are
amongst the most popular around even today. "Bungling amateurs"? I
think not.
You go ahead and do the same. Then you can create a case-insensitive
language.
But don't expect it it to be widely accepted.
