I did not originate that assessment of Java. I think it was
part of some other posting earlier. It is now so far from the
source, nested within some other reply, that I am not sure of
its origins.
Java is not "just like Ada" with C syntax. According to Tucker,
he sees some Ada semantics in Java. Although Java has tightened
up some of the problems associated with C syntax and eliminated
some of the ambiguities, it is still fundamentally C syntax.
