the name fun vs function

[mikkifr]

Is there a reason why functions are call "fun" but things like components, modules, and records are not called "com", "mod" and "rec?"

The its called fun instead of function because:

1. it's more common then the other entity type keywords (component, module, record, etc...)
2. it's the same number of characters as get so the most used entities in a component / module / store fun and get line up
3. as an abbreviation is pretty clear while com, mod and rec are not

👍 for choosing fun because it reminds me of kotlin :^)

I agree - fun is a nice easy short name for something we use a lot.

Closing since people are OK with the fun keyword. Added the question to the README.

mod is pretty ok for me. It's also used in rust.
