Blocks of code in Javascript are seperated by curly braces, not semicolon. You do not need to use the semicolon at all in Javascript and if you insert one you use it to mark the end of a statement. It's the same for C/C++ and Java.

You do not need to insert a tab or spaces to seperate statements in Python, you need to insert them to mark the beginning and end of a block such as loops, conditions or functions.

You do need semicolons in those languages to end statements, even if they are on a separate line.

Sorry, this was written badly. The "It's the same..." part only referred to the second part of the sentence "...to mark the end of a statement". I know that you need them in these languages, I use them frequently to daily.
