do {
/* something */
} or else {
/* you don't want to find out */
}

MODERATORS
Some C++ style guides suggest the following naming convention for functions that crash on any error
OpenFileOrDie()
PHP has the always wonderful (and perfectly functional) syntax of
logUserIn() or die();

Personally, I like to call catched exception variables up, so for a rethrow I can throw up;.

Please God let this be a humorous post that somehow does not also find a way to manage to come true...
I would have bought it if they said ifnot instead, it's the same number of characters and wouldn't require a major parser overhaul to support keywords with a ' in the name.
i mean, “unless” tends to be the usual term for an “if not” keyword in languages that implement such a thing

ifn't(!valid) halp?
I believe that resolves the same as

Yes... how is "reducing exclamation marks" a good thing when you do it by adding a ' (not to be confused with , ´,‘or’` ..which are all different characters).

I'm struggling to understand if this is true or ifn't true
Imagine the regex needed to highlight code with that extra single quote.
I'm just hoping this paves the way to code with Southern dialect
iffun is == true
iffun ain't == false
May I introduce you to the joys of #define and creating your own horrible sub language
