I've often thought that a language with this kind of block-free
syntax would be nice and intuitive:

if condition then
do stuff
elif condition then
do stuff
else
do stuff
endif

Note that you do not need block delimiters.



Does anybody know a language with this kind of syntax for
ifThenElseEndif?



PHP has exactly this:

if (condition) {
   // stuff
} elseif (otherContition) {
  // otherStuff
} elseif (yetAnotherCondition) {
  // yetOtherStuff
}


The OP explicitly said no block delimiters. Your example uses {..}, and 
doesn't have endif.

Just out of habit. I think that PHP, like C, lets you avoid the block
deliminators so long as the block all fits on one line.
