A teacher just gave us a complete course on JS, which already is my main language, and didn't. Put. A. Single. Semicolon.

Am I the only one to compulsorily put semicolons even of the language doesn't require you to do so? Please?

    Try not to put semicolons in vanilla JS, and see how lines of code are magically skippes without any notice by the browser :D

    @Navigatr It's required if you intend to minify it sometime, but I was shocked myself to learn that it's not required as long as you have an EOL char... I learned it from an argument with a friend ^^'
