Richard, Thank you for taking the time to elaborate on your statement. > If the explicit statement terminator is not available, statements either > trickle off the right for a long ways (hard to read, understand, view, etc) > or their meaning is not ambiguous - they may be interpreted in multiple > ways. Some of the rules needed to make the statement have a definite > meaning may be less desirable than the semicolon. I just don't see any evidence to support this. Have you had an opportunity to use a language that doesn't require an explicit statement terminator? If so, did you really notice any of the aforementioned problems.? I have a number of years of experience using non-terminated languages under my belt, but I haven't run across those issues.
