I like C but not its syntax

Why hasn't anyone made C that doesn't look like dogshit?

Why does the return type come before the function name?

To match the variable declaration syntax. int x; means "this is a variable that stores a variable of type int". int factorial() { ... } means "this is a function that generates a variable of type int". If you just think of functions as a dynamic counterpart to variables, it makes sense.
