Poll: Semicolons in JavaScript

But linebreaks don't terminate statements in javascript.

  x = y
  
  /* TODO: clean this up to make it more readable
   * and maybe add some semicolons
   */
   
  + 4

... is a single statement.

It's funny how people will take an assumption and keep it without ever verifying if that assumption really holds.

This is a really nice example of that.

It also is reminiscent of one of my favourite programming jokes:

   int x;
   int y;

   x = 0; /* initialise both x 
   y = 0;    and y to 0 */
