Now, I rather like semicolons. I think they provide the punctuation needed. But then, I put in full stops (or periods, for our colonial friends), when I'm writing an SMS, let alone in text messages and so on, so maybe I'm the weird one.
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

You missed a full stop at the end, there. twitches
I'm not trolling you, I swear! :D
(EDIT: Dev.to's formatting might be trolling me, though...)
I dont understand what you are talking about; Doesnt everyone write how I do; Then again I am not THAT popular;
