Didn't want to hijack another thread, so here's a comment:

It appears that an "if..." statement always needs to be closed with "end if" even when "return" appears in the code.
So for example, the Widget Builder flags this as an error:

if mTheme is "ios-8" then return 9

It would be nice if the language parsing would accept the above for more concise code.

Hi Netdzynr,

We do intend to extend out what forms of "if" the compiler will accept but for now our focus has been on to core functionality.

Warm regards,

Second the request: single-line if's would be good, even without a return.
