Semicolons

[ElBe-Plaq]

The parser currently does not require lines to be ended by a semicolon (;), but the team has decided to make them necessary starting at version v1.0.0-alpha4.

What this means

Semicolons are no longer optional, meaning they will be enforced after every single line/statement.

Why we've decided to do this

We don't want to allow for cases such as this, where one author uses and the other one dislikes semicolons:

do_something();
do_something_else();

now_the_other_author()
doing_something_different()

This creates a mess which we don't want to happen in our language.

The REPL

The planned REPL version is gonna allow semicolon free lines.
