I was on a panel at a web-dev conference with Brendan Eich (the inventor
of JavaScript) during the first dot-com boom.

The first thing out of his mouth when he's introducing himself:
"I'm very sorry for optional semicolons... not sure what I was thinking."

Still trying to think of something clever for the fourth line of this .sig

I was on a panel at a web-dev conference with Brendan Eich (the inventor
of JavaScript) during the first dot-com boom.
"I'm very sorry for optional semicolons... not sure what I was thinking."

It's important to contextualize that. Each language that makes semicolons
optional defines its own rules for when a newline works like a semicolon
and when it does not. No two languages that I know of use the same rules.

When Brendan's talking about this, he's talking about *the specific rules
he came up with for JS* (in a famously short amount of time). Those rules
are understood to be terrible by just about everyone.

That's *not* an indictment of optional semicolons *in general*. Programmers
working in Go, Lua, Python, Ruby, Scala, Kotlin, Swift, etc. all happily
omit their semicolons with little ill effect.

Cheers!
