(this is gonna sound bad, but) I'm a fan of how lines end in sh/bash. If there isn't a matching close for every open symbol, or there's a slash (opposite of /, my phone doesn't have the character on the keyboard) it ends after the next line that doesn't meet these conditions. ; is then a command terminator that separates different commands on the same line. I like it because it's explicit, easy to see visually and doesn't require special understanding of the semantics of the language to know if the line can be split there, only understanding of the line endings. It also allows folks to explicitly include the line endings if they want.
