When I first started using Nim I was a snake_case person, and I was also put off by camelCase as the preferred style. Fast-forward a few years and I got used to the camelCase and moved on, focusing on what I want to build instead of personal style preference.

The identifier case style issue almost never comes up in practice. My advice: if you really want to give Nim a chance, don't get hung up on this issue, just adopt the community convention and enjoy the language.

Conventions really don't bother me, I'm happy to adapt. Even case insensitivity, while not so common on Unix, can generally be dealt with. Underscore insensitivity though is kind of wild and breaks a lot of things (and a case insensitivity exception for the first character only, while tacitly admitting there really is a problem here, is just adding even more inconsistency).
