It is v0.1, so I cannot really tell what it will be like, but it 
my immediate reaction is that this looks like something a Rust 
programmer being forced to write in C++ would come up with.

Why would I want to write "fn" before functions and "var" in 
classes? Right now it seems to provide more downsides than 
upsides and is too close to C++ to be worthwhile, but it is v0.1, 
so who knows?
