I suppose here the new compiler would accept just else begin. Does not
look bad, but not a real improvement, IMHO.
I do more like to make the end's mandatory. Like
'if' BOOLEANEXPRESSION 'then'
[STATEMENT {';' STATEMENT}]
['else'

In Pascal (and in MSElang) ';' does not terminate but separate a statement.

Martin does like a decent challenge :-) :-) .

The ALGOL syntax looks as a complication seems to offer no benefits :)
The Algol syntax was the base for Pascal. It is very similar, although
Pascal left out many constructs possible even in the simpler Algol 60
dialect, like

Sieghard suggests to use Algol 68 syntax instead to try to make the best
of 30 years of programming experience.
Opinions?
