Hello everyone,
what if to remove semicolons at the end of each line of code in
D like in Python?
Is it worth it?
Another reason not listed in previous answers (or I didn't see
it) is that D as a unique (AFAIK) capability: string mixins. If
the language were whitespace-sensitive (as Python is), writing
string mixins would be a lot more painful, as it is very
difficult and unconvenient to write the mixed-in strings with
correct indentation and line breaks. Having explicit delimiters
(both semicolons and curly braces) is very important for the
usability of this feature.
