I feel the same way. Good code is newline formatter anyway so semicolons tend to be completely reundandant. I like how python has optional support for them though as often I end up in python shell and need a one liner like import foo;foo.do_something()
Except Python is still whitespace sensitive with semicolons, so in an indented block you have to do something like function1(); function2(). In the terminal it works fine though.
Honestly, I wish they did what Ruby did and just used the end keyword.
Personally I hate end keywords - seems like a such an antipattern. I’ve been using jinja html templating language for most web stuff and the end keywords caused so much headache in my career and are really ugly.
Personally, I’m not a fan of semicolons and prefer if languages just used line breaks. It’s one of the reasons I like Kotlin over Java.
My biggest issue with semicolons is that they don’t convey any actual information and forgetting them is annoying.

How do you handle long variable names?
e.g. If (super…long…name1 && super…long…name2) vs. If (super…Long…Name1 && super…long…Name2)
