The other syntax seems more natural to you because you are used
to it. Program some years in Ada and you'll see it more neutraly.
For me the Ada syntax has a visual advantage because when you
have a bunch of variables, you see their name first
   blabla...
   trucmuche...
   bidule...
instead of
   integer...
   integer...
   integer...

but you'll certainly say that it is so because my eye is used to look
at the 1st word ;-)

If you look for a *really* popular languages, don't look at C, Python
or other used mostly by IT people. Look at Visual Basic, maybe.
