Uhm, well, actually Ada 2012 changes Ada syntax a bit, I'd think,
by introducing "of" in loops, round brackets around conditional
expressions, etc. Again, the new syntax is less suited to writing
in a densely crowded style, but they have some potential to appease
programmers who are used to delivering "clever" compactions of
rather boring source text.
