You mean all C-syntax languages. ;)

There's a hell of a lot of Turing complete languages that don't follow C's syntax (Python, Pascal, Lisp, Haskall, Scala, Erlang, Scheme, PL/SQL, JCL, COBOL, Logo, ALGOL, Fortran, Ada...and countless others which I've I've forgotten about or have never even heard of.

But sadly it seems many developers aren't even aware of the popular paradigms outside of imperative programming, let alone the numerous other imperative languages that were popular before C's syntax became the de facto standard template.
