Ugly, confusing naming choices: ``@par`` instead of ``@parallel``.

How do you feel about `def` instead of `define`?

[xapata]

Abbreviations are good to the extent that they're commonly used. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. At the time Guido picked `def`, I might have argued with him. Now, it's the standard.

If I were writing my own language, I might choose `let` instead of `def`. For example, `let x = 1`.
