A shallow nitpicking of language syntax. I would rather read about how a programming language fares at solving difficult problems. Not a minor quibble that has no impact on anything other than this programmer's sensibilities. It's the kind of thing that makes me think people like this are a type, a type that want to abandon semicolons and jump on languages that look better but perform worse.
- tikhonj 13y agoAbandoning semi-colons but having worse performance? Sounds like Python.
- ansgri 13y agoSemicolons are a triple cognitive overhead (errors from omitting them, irritation that they add no value in well-formatted code, and ability to write very poorly formatted code), where their absence has the only overhead of unnatural ways of breaking long lines, so typical programmer performance should be better.
