I've often thought that a language with this kind of block-free syntax would be nice and intuitive:if <condition> then do stuff elif <condition> then do stuff else do stuff endif Note that you do not need block delimiters. Obviously, you could make a more Pythonesque syntax by using a colon rather then "then" for the condition terminator. You could make it more PL/I-like by using "do", etc. You can write shell scripts using if ... fi, but other than that I don't recall a language with this kind of syntax.
It's the same syntax, with `fi` written instead of `endif` -- not sure why the difference in keyword is that big of a deal to you.
As others have pointed out, either way, there are quite a few languages that use this type of syntax.
