Here, at least 40% of programminging is done in C style syntax. The rest isn't in any consistent majority style. Most programmers are probably most familiar with C style and almost all are familiar in some form.

I don't think anyone's disputing the claim that "strange backwards type definitions are much less [familiar]". We're saying that familiar is not the same thing as readable(-once-you-know-what-it-is), and that you're talking about the former, not the latter.
