Yeah, it's in my edit I realized the same thing. I'm thinking it doesn't actually really make sense and the real reason is more "the specific way C does it causes a lot of problems so we're not poking syntax like that with a 10 foot pole" + "it makes writing the parser easier" + maybe a bit of "it makes grepping easier"

    One thing that annoyed me about C# as a Java guy is that it really wants you to use camel case for function and property names, even private ones. I don't like it specifically because it's hard to differentiate between a function/property and a type.

    But C# has quite a few keywords and seem to like adding them more than Java.

    Maybe that's their way of ensuring keywords don't clash with stuff?
