For this simple if statement it works but as soon you have a few lines 
in the if statement it will become really ugly. But one could wrap the 
if statement in a function instead. In other languages where statements 
really are expressions this works:

auto x = if (localtime().hours >= 8)
             "awake!";
          else
             "asleep, go away.";

log "I'm " + x;
