Actually, there IS a big difference in the standards here. Unlike the C standard, the Ada standard may not mandate a layout standard, but it does strongly suggest one. How? By laying out the syntax rules in the recommended style. Consequently, the basic layout in Ada is typically far more consistent than in C, since people generally follow the RM for Ada layout. There is also a fairly official document called Ada Quality and Style. Fairly official means that it was generated with a general consensus process, and published as one of the Ada project documents. OK, it is not an official standard, but many people follow the recommendations in this document. As far as I know there is no comparable document for C.
