C is a very difficult-to-parse language for both humans and computers and its syntax family got popular as much from circumstance as anything else. JavaScript stole Java syntax to court Jaca developers, Java stole C++ syntax to court C++ programmers, C++ stole C syntax to court C programmers and now you have most of the biggest languages of the past 20 years using C syntax because C got big back in the day (and it didn’t get big because of its syntax). Modern C-family/Algol-family syntax is nice but I certainly welcome trying out other syntax families (in the case of Erlang, Prolog-family). |
