Number one is Ruby syntax (except that this formatting is not allowed).
Number three has the problem that you have to write || for argumentless
blocks, which is a problem if you have a || operator as well, because your
||'s are not right after a {.
But in any case all this looks very Rubyish, so I wonder why you want to
create a new language. What elements will be unique to your language?
