What about case insensitive programming languages?
Im a python programmer so I’m used to it, but my coworkers are SAS programmers that is case insensitive and they keep getting errors when trying to write python because of that.
Python is case sensitive. I think they’re saying their coworkers are writing case insensitive code which is causing errors (perhaps writing myFunction and then calling it via myfunction which would result in an undefined error)

Python is case insensitive? Or do mean that it’s not? The phrasing is a little confusing.

myFunctionand then calling it viamyfunctionwhich would result in an undefined error)Ouch. Relying on case sensitivity is a lousy coding choice, anyway. No one is made better off by having a case change carry meaning.
Edit: Before anyone asks, I like case convention as a courtesy, too. But my code doesn’t rely on it.
