  Just a lot of small things stand out: - function and variable types are harder to visually parse for me. The keyword to declare a variable and the type put the varible name in the middle for instance. - the "fn" keyword is terrible, just to save on characters. Honestly, any keyword should have vowels and is pronounceable. Python has "def", I would have been fine with "func" as well - type annotation for templatization make is hard to read where the real arguments begin (for me). I puts info on the type in another place than the variable itself. - "Mutable" feels like it should be all lowercase, to stand out. In general, I know there are areas to improve on C++ syntax, especially on modules, but some choices seem different just for the sake of difference.

    It's pronounced "fun", they just didn't want to make it too explicit because coding isn't always fun.

      I always thought it was pronounced "ef'in". Like when you have to censor yourself in front of coworkers because of this ef'in code.

      Then why not be consistent with "let" and "var", and actually use the vowel? I also am sometimes not fun at parties.
