So... they aren't keywords.
Swift does indeed have a lot of keywords [1], but neither Task or MainActor are among them.

I never said they’re keywords. Y’all way too focused on defending Apple at all cost.

Replying to someone talking about keywords with a list of something that's not keywords, then retreating to "you are an Apple bootlicker" when someone points that out, is not a good look.

If you’re including types, you’d hit the many hundreds if not thousands in most languages.
It dilutes any point you were trying to make if you don’t actually delineate between what’s a keyword and a type.
