Well pretty much every language does syntax checking at compile or run time, but that is not what you're asking. The only syntax checking I'm aware of for free format languages is that used in emacs and vi when coding C, C++, or Java. And it isn't really syntax checking, more of auto-indenting. But you can tell if you've missed a semi-colon or a closing brace if it doesn't indent like you expect.
