> If public were the default, you'd end up having to make other functions `priv fn` instead.

My guilty pleasure is Go's visibility system, where all functions that start with lowercase are private to the scope of the current class/file and all Functions that start with Uppercase are public.

It doesn't look but it would work and it's a mess when you need acronyms, but it somehow works great and the result looks nice.

I actually really dislike Go's system! Casing, to me, shouldn't be significant. (Just like I dislike how whitespace is significant in Python.) And to me it just doesn't look nice, but I also prefer snake_case over camelCase and PascalCase.
