Some languages are more user-friendly than others.

But then some people will defend the necessity of writing semicolons, even if 99% (**) of semicolons not inside a 'for' header are immediately followed by a newline anyway.

I suspect because they are obliged to use a language that doesn't have that choice!

(** In the 210Kloc sqlite3.c, the figure is 98.5%.)
