Swift seems to be doing a decent job of this (and C++ interop for that matter)

It keeps adding keywords and it has become way harder to keep it in your head. It’s over 220 at this point. Don’t take my word for it, Swift creator doesn’t agree with its current direction either.

I'm not sure why I should take the word of the guy who added a bunch of these keywords so he could use Swift for AI
