Groovy ate my Actionscript's semicolons!

I think I've been writing too much Groovy.  I was reworking some navigation in the Broadchoice Workspace this morning, and noticed that I had stopped using semicolons entirely.

It's a small thing, but I'm finding the code is just easier on the eyes.  At first, with Groovy, I had a hard time without semicolons - my brain is just programmed to see them.  After some adjustments, though, I'm living a happier life with less punctuation in my code (ha!  take that, perl and Ruby lovers!).

I never use semi-colons in Ruby, but I'd feel dirty not using them in JavaScript.

That's funny. I could see that happening, though I'm still having the reverse problem, inserting semicolons in my groovy and then scanning before I compile.

It's astounding, the number and variety of languages we web developers are required to know just to do our jobs.

That is humor in using in Javascript.
