I myself have just never quite understood not wanting semicolons. To me I'm always like "it's one extra key, and it's even apart of the home keys when typing. So easy to type." Plus it provides an even easier time for your brain to parse in my mind as you have a very good idea how the parser will read what you just wrote.

But I get it depends on the language. I've just never understood not wanting to use them. Even in languages where they are optional, I tend to use them. Of course this very well might just be because I was trained and groomed on the typical languages like C++, Java, and C# so it's just locked into my brain now.
