Sure. And TeX is similar to C because it uses curly braces for delimiting
scopes and has case-sensitive identifiers. :) Ada is nothing like Pascal
in spite of some superficial syntactic similarities. I've been asking C
programmers what they think of Ada; a common misconception is that it is
derived from Pascal, and therefore suffers from its drawbacks. The comparison
to Modula 3 is perhaps more benign, but don't mention the P word!
