Note that you do not need block delimiters.
Obviously, you could make a more Pythonesque syntax by using a colon
rather then "then" for the condition terminator. You could make it
more PL/I-like by using "do", etc.
You can write shell scripts using if ... fi, but other than that I
don't recall a language with this kind of syntax.
Does anybody know a language with this kind of syntax for
ifThenElseEndif?

modern sh seems to use this with "fi" as endif eg

$ if true; then

true
~:
