The number of keywords in this language is crazy!

[ghost]

The selling point of Go is its simple and elegant syntax. Contrary to Go, this language has so many keywords that you can't even remember, and the keywords are so weird that I have never seen them in other languages and can't even guess their meanings. Do we really need syntactic sugar like unless and until? In my opinion, they only make the code harder to read.

Yes, there are a lot of keywords. If I were to redesign the language it wouldn't have as many. unless and until are a matter of taste, they can be nice as they provide an easy way to invert a conditional without having to add parentheses. But yes, they might not be worth the added complexity
