Talking about cargo cult, they added "def" to function definitions making it more verbose actually.

That's probably to make it easier to parse with type inference, since right now it's the type name that start's a method definition

Seriously, I was thinking, WTF? Increased verbosity and then it isn't even a full word like "define", it's verbose and then abbreviated. Are they just trying to make Javathon at any price?
