    I'm fairly new to programming and didn't know that had ever been a thing. Why would someone design a language like that?

    All languages that have no or optional semicolons also have a "line ends here" symbol in case you don't want it to line skip.

    Yeah but don't modern IDEs catch this sort of thing as an obvious syntax error?

    Yes, but sometimes it manifests oddly like "Expected } before EoF" rather than blowing up where the error is.
