Like Java extended and modified original C syntax for its needs, Jada/Cada can do the same. Our hands are not tied to Java/C syntax too much, so that we couldn't fix C/Java syntax where needed. Java resembles to C, but it is still not C.

Jada/Cada is not supposed to be C, but vastly improved version of C with Ada's robust type handling. The programmers can use Java or Misra C if they don't want to create robust software :)
