JS itself sprinks them wherever it feels like it, so why break the mood?
JS is absolute chaos programming and I love that way too much. You can just feel all the caffeine ingested by the guy who had to pull long nights to ship JS within 10 days. That's exactly the vibe I'm going for with my code.
JS gets us
Gotta keep you on your toes
Joke's on you, I use semicolons in Pythpn
How? For real I hate python not having ; and { and depending on tabs and spaces (PAIN)
Python supports both, it's just not pythonic. It's not the way it's meant to be written but you can write them if you want/are a masochist, because of the syntax's flexibility.
You can end any statement in Python with a semicolon, you can also put multiple statements on the same line, putting a semicolon between them.
You should try ruby.
Try Kotlin
Binds enter key with ; and remove semicolons manually after braces{
Writes custom parser in python to automate removing semicolons after braces. Figures out a preprocessing hook to execute it automatically from java compiler. Starts extending it for other things. Misses deadline. Extends it for more things. Gets fired. Ends up with a full python -> java compiler. Posts project on github. Gets made fun of.
I will not make fun of you pal.
