    ~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?!?”

      I don’t even bother typing them because I like having eslint do it for me.
