No disagreement here. :-)
Turbo Pascal, Turbo BASIC, and Modula-2 don't have any of the ugly formality of Ada though. I'm not making the point that C and C alone is the only language less frustrating than Ada. I'm saying that for many systems, the comfort and simplicity of C allow you to solve problems which would be too frustrating to solve in Ada.
I find Modula-2 pretty dreamy; it's a shame that it's mostly dead.
