After programming in Go for nearly a decade, the idea of going back to needing semicolons brings me pain. Rust seems cool, but semicolons ๐Ÿคข

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.

The presence of semicolons is not a language killer.

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.
