I don't really understand the drama, just like people who use semis in place you don't need them. In real code, you should be using a linter anyways. At which point semis or no semis becomes purely an aesthetic concern. Like whether you use single or double quotes.

I haven't used semicolons in over 8 years and never had an issue. And with tools like eslint and prettier, you have no excuse to be making such trivial mistakes, like adding superfluous semicolons like function(){};
