That is easy to answer, I doubt they could with their rule of
not having more than 5 characters per keyword. :)
Wait, what? REALLY????? What kind of rule is that.
ahahahha... are they stuck to the 70's? :D
Yes really,

I just cannot find the Reddit thread any longer.
Obviously, there is no rule in Rust that keywords have no more
than 5 letters (return, extern, ...) but the designers favor
short keywords, maybe a bit much for my taste. OTOH, I prefer
their preference for favoring immutability and expression
oriented style to D's statement oriented preference. The latest
version of Ada tries to fix Ada a bit in this regard
http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12rat/html/Rat12-1-3-2.html
but it's a bit late. I'm glad to hear that Ada use is increasing
somewhere, but I don't see it in any market I look at.
The Rust designers are targetting C and C++ users, with a
different vision than Walter and Andrei's as to what constitutes
"C++ done right", and some specific applications, like Servo.
