I'd call that a feature.

I hate the ambiguity that semicolon-less Javascript creates (a newline in the wrong spot, and your code starts to misbehave).

why specifically call out semicolons?

what about braces and c-syntax in general?

i love pike, but the c-syntax is not my favorite part. i am more partial to minimalist syntax like smalltalk or lisp. python is nice too, but still to verbose.

that said, pike at least is really copying c-syntax directly with some extensions, and not just confusingly pretending to look like c-syntax as eg. javascript is doing.

> what about braces and c-syntax in general?

I miss braces when I code in Python. Specifically because their absence makes code hard to read and navigate.

I've never missed the lack of semicolons, and hate to have to use them when I switch back to languages that requires them.
