Which function definition keyword do you prefer, def or fn?

Question

I'm curious about what people think of `def` vs `fn`, two short keywords for starting function definitions....Or maybe we should subscribe to the church of `df`, haha.

"def" is too generic."fn" is too cryptic."function" is better than the two.

def could be for lots of things, fn is for functions. I don't think it matters much as long as you have one. C would have been so much easier to parse. Just copy Zig or Rust.
