You could replace "if" with "?", "??" or "¿" and use "⟳" for 
loops.

However, I've found that this makes code harder to read as you no 
longer get a visual separation of "numeric expressions" and the 
main structure of the program.

This presumes that you use a regular text editor. If you create a 
graphical editor, you probably could use only symbols or pictures 
with good effect, but it is a lot of work to develop such editors.
