I would expect the abbreviations that rust uses to be perfectly

I like a lot ML languages (Haskell, F#, OCaml), so I should
probably not be complaining like that.
But those languages don't have as one of their goals to restrict
the keywords to maximum 5 letters,
Who knows, maybe if Rust catches on, I will be eating my own
words and even using it.
