I saw a presentation with a code-snippet with "when" instead of "if". The code saw like a JVM-based scripting language, used indentation instead of "{}" and not each line was finished with ';'
Could you give me a clue, which language it could be?

@gefei scala is not a script language – om-nom-nom Dec 13 '12 at 13:29

@pedrofurla: thank you, but I'm affraid it wasn't. A functional language should be easy to recognise on (((((such code))))), shouldn't it? :-) – Valentin H Dec 13 '12 at 14:41

Not the ones from the Haskell family. – pedrofurla Dec 14 '12 at 17:23

Ruby had the case-when statements. My guess would be "JRuby".
case x
when User === x
puts "Constant"
when "User" === x
puts "string"
else
puts "nothing"
end
