Me too. I had no difficulty learning them or using them, it was just like "oh,
ok". I came from non-semicolon languages, too, like Basic and Fortran.
It's just a cosmetic preference, like if you prefer sugar or milk in your
coffee.
Any errors from misplaced semicolons are quickly diagnosed by the compiler and
trivially fixed.
