>Actually, case sensitive identifiers encourage this. If a library uses camelCase but your code base uses snake_case then you will be using a mix of camelCase and snake_case in order to use that library.
Which will be totally fine, as it involves different variables / things pointed at.
Whereas the "case/underscore insensitive" qualifiers lets you have 10 different versions of the same variable name, in the same codebase -- even without using any third party "library".
Besides, the problem of "third party library uses a different style" is easily solved by having a tool like go fmt that enforces a unique single style. End of story.
