Apology accepted for my part. Remember: Resistance is futile ;-) *Kidding* 

I remember first time I looked at Ada 95 I didn't like the syntax. But
as soon as I tried Ada I saw that the syntax is tenfolds better than C
and its derivatives. It is readable and you don't have to mull for hours
over a page to find all the gotchas due to the hopeless ++i and i++,
possible assignments inside if or for statement of a ; ending an if
statement prematurely.
