Hah, do I detect a little light jab in your lack of punctuation? I guess it partly depends on how you view the relationship between programming languages like Javascript and the typographical conventions of natural languages like English. I tend to think of a series of statements in a programming language as more akin to a to-do list of imperatives than a paragraph from a recipe book. If you are writing a to-do list, you don't need to mark the end of the instruction; the end of the line functions for this purpose. Something like this would be sufficient for understanding: break eggs into pan fry the eggs remove the eggs from pan eat the eggs As opposed to the recipe approach: Break the eggs in the pan; now fry the eggs; next remove the eggs from the pan; now eat the eggs. More syntactical marks are required for clarity (including many semicolons!), but the first approach (the to-do list) is arguably closer to how code is actually written.
