It actually makes a lot of sense. I personally don't want to touch .Net langs because of their PascalCase and camelCase coding style which I find very unfortunate arbitrary decision. And well, didn't really want to get into Nim because of camelCase but since I've learned about this feature I'm reconsidering again.

Do you really dislike camelCase that much to avoid an _entire_ ecosystem because of it?

I prefer snake_case too, but avoiding a language because of a minor convention like that seems weird.

Only language where I can stand it is Haskell. camelCase is relatively ok, but PascalCase for non-types (i.e. function names) is a big no-no :)

When there are so many excellent languages to choose among, a trivial distinction can almost be a relief.
