ok, so optional semicolons are all the rage right now.
but here's the thing: if you don't need them, why allow them?
like, either require them everywhere, or nowhere
the only (somewhat) useful purpose for them is multiple statements on the same line
which, honestly, sounds like a really bad reason to add them to your language
the best reason I can come up with is "Every other language supports semicolons to end a statement, so we might as well"
