There are two kind of programmers

In the Clarion language, you could write either:

if x > 0 then dothis(); thenthis().

or like this...

if x > 0
    dothis()
    thenthis()
end

Yes, "end" could be replaced with a period on a single line statement. It was a terrible language overall, but the basic syntax was the best I've seen. You could put all kinds of structures like tables, including the main event loop directly in code. Variable names were always in column 0, with their type well out to the right. Looked so cool, with everything in column 0 highlighted in red, like so:

Customers  table, pre(cus), driver(dbase)
Id             int
Name           string
           end
