I started programming with Modula-2 and I really believe it was case sensitive. In fact I remember the book I used to learn it (Ogilvie) mentioning the case sensitiveness as a peculiarity of the language: "if case matters in natural languages, why programming languages should ignore it"

After Pascal, all languages that Niklaus Wirth created were case sensitive.
Uppercase keywords are debatable as a style, however with good IDE tooling hardly an issue.
Similarly to BASIC and SQL, or spaces in ML languages and Python, don't use Notepad like editors for them, use something with autoformatter.
Pity that in Modula-2 case those products are long gone, and I doubt many would bother with a VSCode extension or something.
