As a C beginner, you'll find that C is annoyingly picky about curly
braces and semcolons.
All programming languages are picky about syntax.

Indeed. It looks different, and it _is_ different. Seems like a good
thing to me. I like programs to do what it looks like they are going

In C, this doesn't do what it looks like it's supposed to do.
if (foo)
do_this();
and_this();
then_do_this();
