It’s 2023, why does your language have semicolons at all?
Explicitly constructing your intentions are features of a language.
I LOVE types. I LOVE semi colons. I LOVE compiler errors.
Why? Because the ALTERNATIVE is finding (if you’re lucky) unexpected behaviour at run-time.
I promise, I promise SO HARD, that memes about semi colons or “my code doesn’t compile” are GREAT problems to have.if that’s what’s making you sad, your life is good and you’re getting paid 10x too much.
Types give structure to your program, prevent bugs and make team work easier.
Semicolons are an artifact of the times it was thought multiple statements could go on a same line.
Although I do admit, they make language design easier.

People who are annoyed by types have never had to spend weeks of their life hunting for a missing property on an object.
Compilation errors are so much more preferable than finding out the same error at runtime.
Ada has got your back. Entire classes of runtime bugs in C code are eliminated by compiler errors.
You can’t even make a integer overflow unless you’ve explicitly declared that statement as unsafe.
Semicolons are not at all comparable to types.
