> I know it sounds nitpicky, but to me all keywords should be obviously pronounceable, so something like "func" instead of "fn" would be mandatory. Keywords only? How about function names like strspn or sbrk? And how do you feel about assembly language, using mnemonics like fsqrt or pcmpeqd? BTW, thinking about it, I notice, that I need all these lexemes to be pronounceable too, and I have my ways to pronounce sbrk or pcmpeqd. Probably if I do it aloud no one will understand me, but it doesn't matter because these pronunciations are for internal use only.
