    Coming from PHP, the opposite is kinda true for me. When I write JS, I know the semi-colon isn't *strictly* needed but I *must* end every statement with one. Or else it just doesn't feel right.

    @nitnip I'll explain why ignoring ";" should feel kind of wacky (no judgment here, just time): JavaScript not always relies on whitespace to indicate the end of statement to allow multiline chaining, so if your semicolon-less statement is abruptly going to the line that starts with parentheses, it will be painful to debug (as if seeing line starting with round parenthesis wasn't painful already).

    Try C. It's worse in a truly beautiful way.

    Like not being able to properly create a variable list and send it to a function...
