There are languages like Lua that do not require semicolons and are also whitespace (and newline) insensitive. That comes with other tradeoffs, the main one being that Lua is forced to maintain a pretty restrictive grammar to remain unambiguous. There are only very limited expression statements, for example. But anyway, it exists and it addresses the points you specifically made in your comment.
