Which one do you think would be easier? (Function declarations are
generally not used.)

 
I don't care.
 
Yes, languages than C can have better declaration syntax than C does
(where "better" is clearly subjective).  Perhaps yours does.  [...]

From the various bits and pieces spread around I saw that Bart had
obviously adopted many syntactical elements of Algol 68, and I wonder
why he hadn't used just this language (or any "better" language than
"C") if he dislikes it so much that he even implemented own languages.
But okay.
