> Some Adaphiles yearn for a more-pandering-to-popularity AdaNG (Ada next g=
eneration) that, say, has braces instead of BEGIN END, and numerous other s=
hallow =E2=80=9Cfeatures=E2=80=9D.

The braces replace exactly the BEGIN END pair in *Pascal* (they are needed =
for framing more than one instruction). In Ada the BEGIN END pair is only f=
or subprograms, or blocks (with or without DECLARE) but the IFs, LOOPs and =
CASEs don't need it. Basically groups of instructions don't need to be fram=
ed in Ada, so where would you put your braces ?... In the end you would hav=
e a mess with some braces and some "end loop" etc.
