I started with x86 Asm and was exposed to C and Pascal at roughly the same time (as well as XPL0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPL0 , which is described as a mix of the two but is really like "C with Pascal syntax"), and much prefer the brevity of the C syntax. I suspect that's the reason a lot of other languages also adopted it.
