Ah yes, rust. The language that somehow manages to manages to as verbose as possible, with as much jargonized shorthand that a computer could handle.
Exactly, I don't understand why languages have decided that every keyword needs to be as randomly minified as possible.
fn
,def
,rune
(ok that's not minified, just a dumb name),fmt
,std
. Many of these things aren't new, but programmers recognize descriptive variable names are important, the same should be true for keywords.
