"deriving", like Haskell has. Is maintaining a low keyword count really THAT

Yes! It means you can add things after the fact without breaking people's code.
Just think of how bools in C are __Bool now and you need a header to make it
into bool.
Also it means that language specifics and library functionality look more like
each other.
