For me C syntax still looks like someone took some nice Pascal code, 
loaded it into a shopping cart and sent it careening into a brick wall 
in a totally inelastic collision.  It's too short-handy IMHO.  This 
codes snippet makes me cross-eyed :-P

Maybe it'd look better like this with a few tabs and stuff :-)

float 		** f;
int  *x   = new int[x];
etc.
