I must put in my 1.4 cents Canadian and say I've been learning
Csound for about a year and I would hate to see the syntax
change suddenly.  C syntax or "asseblyesque" make about the 
same sense to a beginner.  Let's stick with it the way it is.

I'll add my bit as well.  I know that it could be possible for csound to 
support to styles of syntax, the real issue is finding who wants to code 
it.  If avoiding complexity in the source tree prevents such a thing 
being developed, this could concievably be developed as a 
preprocesor/translator that would convert C-Csound into current csound.   
I personally would love to see this happen, since i find assembly style 
syntax nasty and there are so many things nice that come out of using a 
procedual style.  Of course, for the forseeable time frame I will not be 
able to work on such a thing, so I won't gripe any further :)
