I did this in 1989, as if C had been written by the folks who brought you COBOL:

  #include <stdio.h>

  #define OpenBrace {
  #define CloseBrace }
  #define OpenBracket [
  #define CloseBracket ]
  #define OpenParenthesis (
  #define CloseParenthesis )
  #define NoReturnType void
  #define NoParameter NoReturnType
  #define MainFunction main
  #define Semicolon ;
  #define FunctionPrototype
  #define ActualFunction
  #define PointerTo(atype) atype*
  #define OutputToStdout(astring) printf(astring)
  #define IsEqualTo =

  FunctionPrototype NoReturnType
  MainFunction OpenParenthesis NoParameter CloseParenthesis Semicolon

  ActualFunction NoReturnType
  MainFunction OpenParenthesis NoParameter CloseParenthesis
  OpenBrace
    PointerTo(char) string IsEqualTo "Now is the time for all good men, etc.\n" Semicolon
    OutputToStdout(string) Semicolon
  CloseBrace
