@ -23,4 +23,8 @@ h1. Why is it case/style insensitive?
* Identifiers which only differ in case are bad style. If the programming language treats them the same the programmer needs to come up with with different names for different things.
* Case insensitivity is widely considered to be more user friendly. This holds for file systems, configuration files, and programming languages.
* Many programming languages are case insensitive: Lisp, Basic, Pascal, Ada, Eiffel, Fortran. Since software for aircrafts and power plants has been written in Ada, it seems reasonable to assume that case insensitivity will not not destroy civilisation.
* Note that most people confuse case sensitivity with case consistency (which is indeed good style). However, case consistency is easier to achieve with case insensitivity and a properly configured IDE than with case sensitivity.

h1. Where can I find code examples?
You can find examples in the "examples/":https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod/examples/ directory. There are also many other examples available on "Rosetta Code":http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Nimrod.
