As an Ada newbie I can tell you what is the most offturning thing about 
Ada:
1) The IDE does not measure up to Visual Studio
2) The GDB debugger
3) The fact that you need lots of various external libraries and you 
have to deal with the Linux hell of library versions and installation to 
accomplish basic things like a graphical user interface.

The curly braces are definitely not a problem
