Language feature request : IF Statement

1

In the if statement the current syntax is: if groupedExpression ifBody
i.e
if(a || b){}

I am suggesting we have all kinds of expressions there i.e
if expression ifBody
thus we give room for
if a { // do something }
if a || b { // do something}

This can also be used for if… else if… sections

i.e
if a == b {} else if a <=b {//do something}

You can already leave out the curly brackets. Being able to also leave out the brackets around the condition creates too many possible formatings and will look confusing.

Also would probably create ambiguous expressions to parse

Yea I realized that as expression parser would not have a end indicator.
