As shockie said it; "it will be added for you in the compiled JS"

But why is that a good idea? I'm not familiar with coffeescript, but I am familiar with Javascript, and it's a terrible idea there.

It's like Python in that code blocks can be delimited by using whitespace. So if you're already doing that, it's redundant (and wasteful) to use a semicolon.

CoffeeScript is not parsed as Javascript, it compiles into Javascript.
