It's bastardized OCaml. Instead of OCaml's mutable they inexplicably chose mut, which is ugly (same as pub).

But everyone is cheering them on.

I think their reasoning for things that are shortened is that if it's something you will be writing a lot, it's nicer to have it shortened. So pub fn mut etc. are shortened, but return isn't
