I think it's reasonable to expect people new to Rust (being an advanced systems-level language) to spend 15-20 minutes reading a tutorial. Given that, I think the target for syntax or keywords is that they're meaningful to people who have learnt the basic principles of Rust. I think that 'box' is much more meaningful than 'new' in that context, and rather more descriptive of the purpose.
