maybe caps for export is ugly, it's not much different from how python hides with _

"_" does not hide anything in Python. It's just a convention that says "use at your own risk".
I find both the golang uppercase lowercase naming scheme and python underscores for private (and __ for *extra* private) to be terrible design choices.
They are hidden functionality, a set of rules which must be remembered. “Make sure to do <weird trick> because that mean <X> in <PL>”
Leave identifier names alone. Packing extra info inside is unnecessary mental burden
