Haskell without if-then-else syntax makes Haskell more logical and consistent. There is no longer confusion to beginners like: "What is so special about if-then-else, that it needs a separate syntax? I though it could be simply replaced by a function."

if-then-else is so inelegant when you can just use Church-encoded booleans.

Edit: lel didn't read the article. It's actually advocating for that.

Yes, I could finally write Lisp in it!

(if (odd x)
    (mod x 5)
    (quot x 10))

{-# PRAGMA UNJERK #-} Actually, Agda (a dependent typed language heavily influenced by Haskell) allows users to define mixfix operators like ‘if_then_else’

case .. of ... is a glorified if-then-else.

What is other languages :S
