Basic used "else".
It's nice. "if", "then", and "else". I spent a year programming a shitty roulette game on an Apple 2e back in high school. I still remember the joy of using if/then/else paired with goto to make a horrible mess of spaghetti logic.
But yeah, "else" is nice.
Let's just scrap every language except various forms of BASIC.
Please God, no. I had to unravel terminal scripting code that was written in some propriety BASIC language with basically no documentation.
Took me a chunk of time trying to figure out how it worked before I made the realization that it was BASIC
Try PL/SQL.
