I had no idea Evan had that preference haha. I've used Vue since version 0.10 or 0.0.10 or something like that, very early version. I never noticed the lack of semicolons so I bet my Vue code would look horrendous to Vue programmers haha.

But yeah, this is why I added the semicolon thing all the way at the end, it's not really important, just a personal preference. To me, a semicolon is like a period at the end of a sentence so I feel the need to add it.

As you can imagine, when I write Go, the compiler constantly screams at me.

I first met a semicolon-less fan when doing a React project, he had a strong opinion about everything, not just about semicolons ... I have to say that when you follow a certain style (without the semicolons), JS almost starts looking a bit like Ruby, kind of nice. But I'm in no way religious about it, on the contrary (opportunistic).
