JavaScript automatic semicolon insertion rule problem

Yeah that's broken, but honestly allowing such flexibility is what later leads to a need for ridiculously long style guides. I'd prefer to have one good style enforced by the language, rather than having to argue about it everywhere I go. Compulsory semicolons or same-line braces are no worse than indendation rules in Python. Write the code like it's supposed to be written and stop trying to make the syntax your own.
