Perhaps someone should make Ada look like C. It can't be that
hard, since it is only syntax. (I'm thinking of a full compiler
like Cfront, though a pre-processor might be sufficient to get
people interested.)
(You know the sort of thing: curly braces, up-its-own-backside
declaration syntax, overload the angle brackets for generics.)
A "C-like syntax" certainly worked for Java (and C++ before it).
Of course, you'd have to give it a new name, such as Ada++, or
else you'd never be able to market it to the great unwashed.
(No smiley. It was borderline, but on balance I think this is a
serious suggestion.)
