Ada is another non-C with odd semantics, so the problem is that it goes too far and not far enough: It's not enough like C to be familiar, but it's not far enough from C to be able to go head-to-head with Haskell. If I want something that's very safe and don't care about it being similar to C, I'm going all the way to Haskell and not bothering with half-measures.
