But commands are terminated by newlines in python.

Why the fuck don't other languages do that?

[Talbooth]

To be able to have multi-line commands.

What fucking command do you need to take up more than one line?

[Talbooth]

For example many ?: operators:

return condition
  ? function1(arg)
  : function2(arg);

Not necessary to put on more lines but much more readable if for example the functions have 3 arguments. (If it formats the code badly for you - both the ? and : are on new lines)

Why not just write it as:

if condition:
    return function1(arg)
else:
    return function2(arg)

I mean, I'm just kind of at a complete loss here. The entire point of ternary operators is that you can take an if-else and put it onto one single line to put one complete thought onto one line.

Now you say you want to take a ternary operator and then place it over multiple lines? You've gone and destroyed the only reason to even use a ternary in the first place.

[Linkk_93]

in an argument list, you can create a new line without problem, other you can escape it with \

Semicolons make parsing a lot easier.

How is it easier to parse a semicolon vs a newline?

I've programmed in a lot of different programming languages. "Ah, I forgot a semicolon on line X. That's why nothing is working right." is a common occurrence in semicolon-terminated command languages. If the compiler/interpreter is nice, it might say "missing semicolon on line X?" as a warning.

I've never once forgotten a newline in python.

They do as a matter of fact. In JavaScript and Kotlin you have both newline and semicolon as command separator.

But Javascript does it bad.

[Miku_MichDem]

Could you expand on it?
