    At least in C#, you can define variables with keyword names like this:

    var @struct = “abc”

    I think in Kotlin you can do the same, and even include spaces with backticks like val abstract class = “abc”

    I’m not sure if other languages allow that, regardless it should be rarely used.

      Swift also uses backticks and Rust has a dumb one in the form of r#thekeyword. Still much better than introducing a async as a new keyword in a minor version of a language and breaking a bunch of libraries.
