Other people have already explained the reasons. It all just comes down
to one thing: There's a class of programmers who will never stop griping
about trivialities like "Oh my god, I have to type a semicolon?! How
horrible!"
Can we drop the matter already and get back to something a little bit
less worthless like tabs vs spaces. If semicolons are such a terrible
drain, there's always JS and Python. Have fun.
