I think the visual style of the language rubs off. There is for example
C-like: Curly brackets, small keyword count, etc ... This is a language for people who want to write fast code that gets things done, not a gram of weight too much. Hacker spirit.
Python-like: Indentation. A bit more keywords. This is a language that wants to be clear, beautiful, abstract, communicating to other readers. Academic spirit.
Cobol-like: A huge wall of text. Lots of Divisions and Organization. Bureaucratic, smells of meetings, punch cards and months of delay. Enterprise spirit.
Ada, unfortunately, looks cobol-like, so someone who knows nothing automatically assumes a ton of bureaucracy. Run away if you want work done.
Note this is purely cosmetic and has nothing to do with actual language quality.
