Hi

I notice that Rust seems to favour extreme brevity in it's choice of keywords e.g. "ret" "vec" 
"cont" "fn"

I ask because Rust aims to be a system programming language, and the current 
dominant system programming language is C/C++,
so it would make sense to me to pick keywords that align more closely with C to 
make transition easier.

Or am I missing something in the design criteria of the language?

Nothing terribly rational, it's just an aesthetic preference on my part.
