I mostly appreciate the wordiness of Ada for the clarity it offers to the code maintainers, but in some cases the extra wordiness offers nothing. 

If you use functions properly (only "in" parameters and not side effects) you don't have this issue at all.
Interfacing with C is an edge case which doesn't need to add more noise in the Ada syntax, IMHO.
