I guess Java/C/C++ is very popular and serious programmers
know at least one of them. Chances are high that new users
get confused by PHP after learnning Java/C/C++.
I think students learn Java/C/C++ in a university rather
than PHP :)


how many ut these make actualy *use* of the case sensitivity
these languages provide (other than cpp #define CONSTANT)?



Anyway, if we stay in with current case insensitive names,
I  think we should not have case preserved names for other
technology.


could you elaborate on that?
either i am completely stupid or this argument
is complete nonsens ...



If we are willing to be nice to other technology, we
should go for case sensitive names, IMHO.


it is not about being nice to other technologies
(once again, i don't like the term technology in this
 context), it is about being compatible with external
interfaces while being nice to users meeting their
expectations regarding bc and convenience
