Hey, I'm one of the dev's; We thought about this ALOT like 4 hour long arguments, we asked a lot of our friends and its was really mixed, some people hated the python style ternary, others loved it, we weren't sure what to choose but the numbers were 38.5% for `<expr> if <cond> else <expr>, 27.25% for `<cond> ? <expr> : <expr>`, and 34.25% for `if <cond> { <expr> } else { <expr }` we did also look at a few other styles like: `if <cond>: <expr> else: <expr>`, but we decided that the python style is the best for a simple reason, its easier for new dev's who want to come into systems programing or writing low level code. If a lot of people do really hate it, we can swap it out before an alpha it would be a really simple AST node parser change...
