I'd tend to agree with you, except for the fact that Rust reserved words are reserved everywhere. Even if the syntax were changed, you still couldn't name a field "async" or "return". Since it's no extra burden on the namespace, I'm less opposed to it.

I'm on the fence about disambiguation via unique punctuation, vs avoiding Perl-like line noise.
