So why does D have ; as a statement terminator? The simple answer is
because D is intended to have a low barrier for entry for C, C++, etc.,

For what it's worth, I like it too. :)
I've never understood why people have a problem with the semicolons.
They've never bothered me, not once. In fact, they just seem to
magically appear at the end of my statements without me thinking
consciously about them at all.

I would say I like to have them optional. When you start using delegate
literals it's just too much:
foo((int i) { writeln(i); });
The above is quite verbose but in this case removing the semicolons
doesn't help that much.
