And you think this is somehow related to the relative merits of the syntax
of these two languages!?

Did you even bother to read the points that were made.  They weren't about
liking anything, but about syntax design.  Lots of people prefer C, probabl=
y
because they are used to it.  That, however, has absolutely no bearing on
whether its syntax design was good or not or whether there are better
designs out there.

And that is supposed to be a argument for what exactly?

Your whole post is seems a knee jerk emotional response since it's so
unrelated to what was actually being discussed.  I'm sorry your C-ness is
somehow threatened by mere discussion of syntax, but that's really of no
interest to anyone else.
