I'm definitely not totally opposed to them - my favourite language by far is Rust, which does have semicolons!

I think for me it comes down to how they mesh with the overall feel of the language - languages like Rust have a lot going on syntax-wise, so the explicit syntax feels right, whereas Lua is quite minimalistic and 'light', for want of a better term.

I'd also say to a degree it just depends what mood I'm in, honestly :p
