Well, I guess if you counted them all, there would be tons of such languages, because there are so many programming languages. As for length, of course - but you could possibly think of some such case: what about Max a person , and max a function that takes a list of reals, and returns the biggest? You only had to type the capitalised bits, but the full word appeared in program listings.
This applied to REMark , too, and wasn't that annoying Where did you get the 3 from? What to do about it Live with it. Try these shell options. They give a compromise, and make things easier, without introducing all of the problems of case insensitivity. Community Bot 1. Kevin Loughrey Kevin Loughrey 9. I would remove the section on Java because it is, imho, opinion-based and besides the point method overloading has little to do with case-sensitivity As for your psychology paragraph, I think sources would be nice Finally, the last paragraph is, imho, opinion-based as well and offensive and should be removed.

If you disagree with what has been said in this post then please put forward an argument to substantiate your posits. Opinions count for little. I agree that case sensitivity makes learning harder. But note that almost everything in Unix is lower case, so keep it that way. A major exception is environment variables are conventionally all capitals.

The key to that case-insensitive search is the use of the -iname option, which is only one character different from the -name option. The -iname option is what makes the search case-insensitive. Then enter a vowel, and the umlaut combines with the vowel. And what about sorting? There's a completeness to the thinking here that Windows still only approximates. Windows sorts all of your folders first in a folder listing, before any files. Why is that? And it still has that infuriating and inexplicable stupidity of not allowing you to create a file with a name that's an all-caps acronym, without helpfully converting it to an initial-caps string for you.
It's taken me a long time to come to terms with the appropriateness of a case-preserving, case-insensitive filesystem, but I've done it. It's clear to me now that while it's nice in an academic sense to have deterministic control over filenames to the point where two files that differ only in capitalization can exist in the same folder, it's simply nothing but confusing to a casual user for there to be a distinction.
