The popularity of C, C++, Java has more to do with tradition than syntax.
99% of people are followers (not to use a word with 's' ;-) ).
Add to it that a new member of a team has often to use the language that is already in use, that the boss has learned that language, and that decades ago the boss was a beginner and had to use the language that was already in use, etc. etc.

Usually if you need to work on projects with non-programmers, they will understand quickly what's happening in an Ada program and find a C or C-like program difficult to understand.
If you remove the readable and unambiguous syntax of Ada, you will lose an important part of its advantages.
