"else if" to "ef" or other shorthand?

[determin1st]

hey, what if livescript introduce shorthands to those basic statements? not a real issue, just a question to discuss maybe.

if a > b
  true
else if a < b
  true

may become

if a > b
  true
ef a < b
  true

comparisons are perfectly aligned - is it better for code readability? i've noticed new versions of php have both else if and elseif valid syntax constructs, also, python has elif statement that is perfectly aligned with else..

better to use switch instead ?

[determin1st]

you mean empty switch, hmm.. ooke

switch
| a > b => true
| b < a => false
