> people who really care about semicolons in JS are people who just don't write a lot of JS I started JS in the mid 90's. I still use semi-colons. To me it's like using a period to end a sentence. It's a pause. It defines the end of a statement. I feel that too much emphasis is placed on the desire to remove curlys and semi colons from JS. It's part of the language. There's always coffeescript or those other flavours that will suit you.
