Good, now invent a keyword for variables you don't want to declare the type. And now that you have a mix of keywords and identifiers on the same place, you can never update your language again.

Also, make the function declarations not use a keyword too, so you get the full C-style madness of code that changes meaning depending on what libraries you import.

auto. Also in D, you only need const if you don't want to specify a type for a constant, the compiler automatically inferres it to you.

Function declarations can be easily decyphered from context, no problem.

Maybe that's what the people developing spoken languages thought, while normalising conversations overdependent on context.

But hey, now we have another comedic tool in anime.
