Survey Says … 2020 Stack Overflow Developer Survey
We review the Stack Overflow Developer Survey in the same year it was created for the first time ever, while Joe has surprising news about the Hanson Brothers, Allen doesn’t have a thought process, and Michael’s callback is ruined.

Survey Says
How do you feel about semi-colons?
- Sadly, they're a necessary evil for my language.
- My language doesn't require them and I'm a better dev for it.
- There's only a finite number of keystrokes you'll type in your lifetime, and since they're optional in my language of choice, I'm not wasting keystrokes.
- They might be optional but as a wise man once said: Never Gonna Give You Up.
