It is not Java, but many more programming languages! An obvious reason could be, that our spoken and written language is also case sensitive. For example „I like Reading.“ and „I like reading.“ have different meanings. The first refers to the city named Reading, the latter refers to the activity of getting information from written texts. Furthermore, a compiler or interpreter of a case sensitive language is easier to implement, because a text normalization algorithm is not required.

It's the compiler that is case sensitive. This is how algorithm works
