Keyword for a function in the new Swift Language

Originator:TheCocoaNaut

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode6-Beta 6.0
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
It's really cosmetical but I want to see the keyword "function" instead of "func" in Swift. Every time I see it, it baffles me. We have space more than we need and we have auto-complete. Using the hole word is much more readable than every abbreviation.

Steps to Reproduce:
Just create a new function in Swift.

Expected Results:
Auto-complete should write the keyword "function"...

Actual Results:
...but every time I will get the garbled "func".

Regression:
It occurs every time, in that very first release of Swift.

Hello NO!

Swift is already more verbose than Obj-C with it's nonsense syntax sugar like "->" and default indent, why do I need another 4 chars less space than we already have?

I agree with @TheCocoaNaut; please write a rdar with that suggestion and I'll be sure to file a duplicate; I hate writing -> is not natural; would have rather only type > or whatever else but -> is a no no

So, write a rdar with a suggestion to get rid of that "->" nonsense. (-:
