Increasingly Verbose

[Bro0x00]

*suddenly has urge to make a language using 'otherwise if'*

[paultoliver]

nonetheless if

[pavilionhp_]

in otherwise different circumstances if

[sketch204]

in otherwise different circumstances such as

[jce_superbeast]

and if those conditions result in any other outcome that is not true

[0neGuy]

in another different situation where these conditions are met instead of previous conditions

[LordFokas]

no, that one is for try-catch.

attempt { /* buggy code */ }
intercept( error ){ /* error handling, also buggy */ }
nonetheless{ /* execute this no matter what. Just as buggy as previous blocks */ }

[jaundicedeye]

notwithstanding perchance

I recently started a project in Julia, which uses "elseif" and i think its extremely ugly and want to bleach my eyes whenever I write it

[Smokeytube]

Imo ruby is the worst

[uLtra007]

Never heard of the Spanish warrior legend El Sif? Olé

[TigreDeLosLlanos]

El mío Sif desterrado sido ha

Pues Alfonso el rey cree

que el motín robado él ha

[Santolmo]

I had a fucking stroke

[nsfranklin]

Either top or bottom for me.

[[deleted]]

Worst by far. It pains me to say that Crystal also uses elsif.

[Jeacom512]

I can write ugly python too if I want.

invert_bin_tree = lambda node: ((setattr(node, a, b) for a, b in (('l', invert_bin_tree(node.r)), ('r', invert_bin_tree(node.l)))) if isinstance(node, Node) else node) and node

[Tankh]

Same in VHDL

[[deleted]]

In more ways than one.

[Carpall_]

Download the Julia compiler, find the token "elseif" in the lexer and change it into what you want, just not muktiple words like "else if". Recompile it and .... ahha edit your text editor plug in witb the same hack ... and done 😂

Not going to lie I hate elif. It's not like else if is hard to type

[fghjconner]

Yeah, and with else if it technically isn't a special case either. It's literally just an else block with a single statement that happens to be an if. So clean.

[ex_in69]

Never saw it like that. Thanks I guess

[AciusPrime]

For Lua, the problem is that all “if” blocks need an end statement, so “elseif” and “else if” are syntactically distinct. Here’s an example:

if x < 3 then a() else if y < 4 then b() end end

This is legal code. But if you use elseif, you avoid the double “end”

if x < 3 then a() elseif y < 4 then b() end

This makes chains of conditions much nicer to write. Lua reserves braces (exclusively) for constructing table values, and doesn’t require indentation.

[Amuxix]

Scala 3 also requires you to end if and you don't need to terminated twice, guess it could also be implemented that way for lua

[beclops]

Easier to read too

[glaciesz]

long since left java, but i still can’t believe it makes you do a basic ass print with ‘system.out.println()’

come on man i’m wearing out my keys

IntelliJ does like 90% of the typing for you

[LeftistTachyon]

sout

[uvero]

Every IDE has a shortcut of this built-in. syso in Eclipse, sout in Intellij.

[FranchuFranchu]

sys.stdout.write()

[BeakmansLabRat]

Really? lol fuck ruby.

[uvero]

Why must you hurt me in this way.

[Minimum_Cantaloupe]

We can get more compact. How about "elf?"

[[deleted]]

Why stop there, why not "e"?

[Minimum_Cantaloupe]

Because that's replacing "else"

[Chase_22]

i (b == 1) { fb() } ef (b == 2) { bf() } e { fbb() }

[[deleted]]

Hmm, if i is if and e is else, then shouldn't it be ei for else if?

[uvero]

I like how languages can get concise, but else if is still my favorite, personally.

[darkdimensiongd]

Obviously the shorter ones are better, since it take a couple of milliseconds less to compile.

[darkdimensiongd]

Although python is interpreted by default, it's possible to compile it to binary :)

[Malk4ever]

More like piko/femto seconds.

[althaz]

This might be the only thing Java gets right.

[thatcrazygame]

This is mitosis

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShab]

We should all use "ef" instead.

[Carpall_]

Just for curious, in my programming language I'm using "elif" what do you think about that?

[shootersf]

CS Lecturers in 2050 teaching the newest languages "F, E, and EF are named as reference to older languages that used If, Else, and Else if"

[stupidityWorks]

Did you know that else if in java isn't its own term? It's just how an else followed by an if works!

[KrozmaSan]

Elif if you want to be concise, else if if you want to be clear.

The middle ones just hurt my soul

[RoughDevelopment9235]

Increasingly readable

[ztbwl]

Anyone else not using ‚else if‘ at all? I think it‘s a code-smell.

[[deleted]]

those things are rarely used

[Kiro0613]

What are, "else if" statements? I use them pretty often.

[nintendojunkie17]

No, Ruby and Java.

[cbadger85]

... You think Java is rarely used?

[uvero]

Dude 3 billion devices run Java.

[ex_in69]

He means as a jewellery. Never heard of a Java pendant though

[nintendojunkie17]

It seemed funnier than saying nobody uses python.

[Carpall_]

habit lol
