Strangely, Ada, while aimed for large-scale developments (hence the 'bureaucratic' feeling?) since conception, puts a heavy weight on readability and maintainability. No implicit shortcut operators, words instead of symbols, specific block markers (for loops, ifs, lexical block, embedded functions, ...) and explicit generic instantiation. Can be a pain to write, but it's really easier for me (whose days consist mostly of Ada, java, python, C++, C - don't ask - coding and reading) to read.
You say 'improved' but I feel it doesn't always go the 'more readable' way. I'm very much not a fan of the 'dot notation' and still like to use named parameters, and force explicit types instead of the creeping auto trend. I read much more code than I write and I'm feeling... not heard on the recent changes to ease code writing. At least I can write libadalang scripts (or langserv one day 'to right-click add back what I need in for-of loops, or dot-notation.
