My thought as well. Ending if then blocks with end, while lacking ; looks a lot like it

Yeah looks like Lua

Matlab / Octave / Scilab?

Could have been Ruby if it weren't for the function keyword at the start. ("then" is allowed but optional.) It's Lua

Click to reveal answerAnd the answer is Lua! The syntax is a bit similar to other languages but there are some keywords like then and function that give it away. 75% of comments got it right

Very close to VB. Glad I noticed it didn't have End If and End Function before I guessed.

A global function in Lua would be my guess.

then, end, do feel so ridiculously annoying and pointless when you are used to python syntax.
