After programming in Go for nearly a decade, the idea of going back to needing semicolons brings me pain. Rust seems cool, but semicolons 🤢

    As you can see, rust allows you to not put semicolons at the end of code blocks. The presence of semicolons is not a language killer. It's a very hard language, but its worth it.

    I'm not saying it is. But every time I have to work in a language that requires semicolons I'm constantly forgetting them and constantly reminded of how nice it is to not have to care in Go.
