You can write Ada using many of C/C++ synatx.

Use a C preprocessor.

1. create a .h file, and do this:
#define {  BEGIN
#define }  END
#define [  (
#define ]  )
#define =  :=
#define == =
etc...

then, in your .c file, the following code:

if( a==0 )
{
   b = 0;
   d[2] = 4;
}

when run via the preprocessor only, will come out as

if( a = 0 )
BEGIN
   b := 0;
   d(2) := 4;
END

Then use the above as input to Ada compiler.

(I am missing a THEN in the above, but you get the idea, tweek the .h
file more to get it in :)

btw, the above practise is not a good idea to do of course.
