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.
