I don't think introducing a separate "then" keyword is a good idea, two subtly different kinds of IFs would be confusing.

I guess you meant:

let v = if condition { "A" } else { "B" }

That's acceptable to me, although might not be any more readable, and feels slightly inferior to:

let v = (condition ? "A" : "B")

A.
