RecipeForSuccess: Semicolons are Optional, but not Really

Are you tired of being a success? Do you want to be the envy of all your friends and family with your impeccable coding skills? Look no further! This page will guide you through the ancient art of semicolon placement.

It's a delicate art, really. Some people say it's a matter of taste, but we say it's a matter of life and death. Or, at the very least, a matter of passing your code reviews.

Step 1: Don't be a Hero

Don't be a hero when it comes to semicolons. Use them, don't use them, it's not the end of the world. Unless, of course, you're trying to write a script for a Hollywood film. In that case, go for it.

But for us mere mortals, just use them when you really, really, really need to.

Step 2: The Semicolon Conundrum

When in doubt, don't use it. But when not in doubt, still don't use it. Unless, of course, you're writing for the CodeWars competition, in which case go ahead, be bold!

We've seen it all, folks. The semicolon is a minefield of confusion, waiting to be treaded with care.

Code Examples:

  1. var x = 5; // This is a semicolon. Don't ask us why.
  2. var y = 3 + 3; // No semicolon. Just a simple addition.
  3. var z = 5 + 3; // Oh, the humanity!

Step 3: The Semicolon-Free Zone

It's a brave new world out there, folks. A world where semicolons are a thing of the past. Join the movement, and leave your semicolons at the door.

But don't just take our word for it. Read thetestimonials from our semicolon-free pioneers.

No Semicolons Allowed is a must-read for anyone serious about taking the semicolon-free pledge.
