I mean if anything the syntax should me more specialised as you go into sub-keywords, which makes sense in this industry (e.g. ISO 8601). The problem is that `extern` seems to have been taken from C++ and extern crate is almost tacked on (or that's the impression I get).
Comparing with other languages, Rust looks to be the only instance where two keywords are required to simply require a module/library, which sticks out to me.
