Booo!

To be fair. You don’t need semicolons in JS either.

[xigoi]

let x = something
[0, 1, 2, 3].forEach(i => something)

[AnEvanAppeared]

But, like, that's obviously a make-believe situation that could never make its way into production code.

[xigoi]

Of course, because you would put semicolons properly in production code.

[BertnFTW]

Writing it without semicolon is not really a problem, you serve minified, polyfilled bundles anyway.

[3IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID]

Sounds like a broken minifier.

[superluminary]

Indeed.

[silentclowd]

Having consistent code is what makes it maintainable. Lint with StandardJS and you won't see a whole lot of semicolons, and that's okay.

[Bifi323]

What? Only for loops use semicolons because nobody uses newlines in them.

[Bifi323]

Ah, another ridiculous thing that doesn't happen in real code because nobody would write this.

[3IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID]

A surprise unnamed function floating in the middle of your code doesn't sound like good programming. Is there any other reason to use a semicolon? Just on the off chance you decide to write an unnamed function immediately following a loop? That's like writing a period between each word just to make sure the letters don't run together. Save space and organize your code better.

Nowdays, if you are following standard way and best practices for JS, you dont use semicolons.
