I never said that NO language should be case-sensitive, I said that a
previously case-insensitive language should not be changed to being
case-sensitive for no good reason other than "to be consistent with all the
others". This is especially a BAD idea if the language then allows the SAME
variable or function name to me different things just because of a change in
case. As has already been stated by others, some languages are
case-sensitive, but they detect the wrong case when the variable or function
name is being typed in and auto correct it.
