Why use semicolons to terminate statements in modern JavaScript or ActionScript?
shutter: Two areas that I can come up with:1. Minification -- If you want to minify your JS, you might run into problems if you don't insert all necessary semicolons.2. Convention -- If you wrote js code with no semicolons and then showed it to other JS programmers, you'll get a funny look, a slap in the face, or a free copy of "Javascript for Dummies", depending on the context.
