`unless` came from Perl, Ruby adopted it, and so of course did Crystal.

"Unless" feels like adding come-from (next to goto) to a language. A statement/flow should not change its meaning after being declared/written IMHO.
edit: My criticism is for the suffix version to be clear. Unless / else is actually cool.
