What is up with the hate on semicolons?
Luckily I know scala but if I didn't and someone would try to sell it starting with that argument I'd get very suspicious.
- bonzoesc 15y agoThey're more typing than no-semicolons and all you stand to gain is code that's harder to read for a majority of programmers. It's really as close as you get to an objectively-bad thing in a programming language.
- leon_ 15y ago> objectively-bad I guess you're confusing objective and subjective here. I think semicolons are nice - they make reading code easier. And the "extra" typing isn't really that much work. But that's my opinion and so it's subjective. I don't claim to be it the ultimate truth, like you do.
