You have conveniently left out types from go’s list.. with those removed it is hardly longer, and as has been shown (case-sensitive identifiers), not all language complexity lives within keywords.

the parent's point was to compare the set of reserved keywords in the two languages

They do if 1/3 of java’s keywords are there due to types.

some keywords are types, but not all types are keywords, right?

like, it's not as if the go type `float64` is also a go keyword

but i guess the java type `byte` is a java keyword? according to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/_k...
