Also, as the if expression is an expression, you can call methods on it like so: if 1 > 2 { 3 } else { 4 }.min(5) (the above is still an expression, so it could be used, for example, as part of a condition for another if) Of course, you can write horrible code in any language, but the ability to use blocks where expressions are expected can be great sometimes.
