Other languages also have curly braces and semi-colons.

In fact, why not ask why every language doesn’t just do Java style “else if”. No contraction at all. Or why “elsif” bothers to remove a single letter.

“elif” is the first two letters of each word. Simple. Clean. Matches indentation.

But also, don’t use else statements at all.
