It shouldn't be necessary to write them in the first place.

Anyway in this case I guess some automatic code reduction tool has decieded that four characters can be saved by changing it to commas. I doubt it was written that way to begin with.



It shouldn't be necessary for me to look both ways before I cross the one-way street in front of my home. But I do.

I love Go's lack of semicolons but I don't extend that to some foolhardy attempt to write JavaScript without semicolons. In JavaScript, support for proper semicolon-less style is clearly lacking in practice if not in spec (if it weren't lacking this wouldn't be a oft-recurring story, but it is).


This parent comment really shouldn't be down-voted for saying the same thing half the people in this thread said an hour later.
