  Programmers who care about best practices. Here are a couple of scenarios where not using a semicolon will bite you in the ass.

      ~95% of the JS code you see on the Web has semicolons. Apparently, a lot of programmers think it’s worth that extra keystroke to avoid these types of bugs. I agree with them. The difficulty with programming isn’t “Arrgh, there are too many keystrokes, my hands are tired!” It’s “Arrgh, HTF did this bug get in here?!?”

      They made it a named function, but this is literally how you format anonymous functions in js, a key feature that usually gets called with an onclick call in the html domain.

    In that sentence, we use “programmer” singular, because “every” is singular, though referring to many

    All real programmers

    Every real programmer

    Each real programmer

    No real programmer

    It’s pretty arbitrary

  Old habits die hard. Learned JS, CSS and C++ all the same year about a decade ago.

  I use prettier which by default adds semicolons. Coming from predominately doing backend stuff (mostly in Java) I don’t really mind, especially when the formatter adds them for me

    That’s what I do too, but i don’t manually add them
