If you prefer not to use semi-colons in JavaScript but need to add them for other’s sake, you could try programming in CoffeeScript (http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/ http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/), which is a language meant to be a bunch of small improvements to JavaScript that compiles into JavaScript. It doesn’t require semi-colons. You can show others just the compiled JavaScript, and they need never know you are using something else.
