I don't care so much about keywords like `fn` personally; I was referring more to:

- `let` in a statement language (as opposed to let-binding expressions)

- comma-separating patterns (as opposed to using pipes to mimic BNF, also potentially causing confusion vs. tuple/record constructors)

- whitespace rather than semicolons for sequencing (though I'd imagine others might disagree on that front).

Some of that overlaps with Rust, to be sure -- I didn't pick up on those similarities at first.
