I do prefer function over fn. I use a modern predictive text completions IDE with fuzzy typing, I don’t care if the keyword has 20 characters. I much prefer explicit keywords for readability. I think the struct, trait, impl, and fn relationships and differences are not only weird and intimidating, the shortened names add to the large barrier for entry.


Oddly, I would argue that the shorter words are better also "for readability".
