Automatic Semicolon Insertion (ASI) has (sadly) been a part of JavaScript longer than 2016. I’m not sure exactly when it was introduced, but this document from 2009 already contains it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120418215856/https://ecma262-5.com/ELS5_Section_7.htm#Section_7.9

IMO it’s bad practice to rely on ASI since the semicolons may not get inserted where you expected them to. The following snippet

const x = 0
const y = x
[1, 2, 3].forEach(console.log) 

is interpreted as

const x = 0;
const y = x[1, 2, 3].forEach(console.log);

which raises a TypeError.

There are more examples of ASI not doing the right thing on the web, so I don’t agree with “Javascript doesn’t need semicolon”.

Ah, hatte früher auch eine Zeit lang ein StartSSL Cert. Dass die so shady waren und dass es sie mittlerweile gar nicht mehr gibt wusste ich nicht.

The dev of the Thunder app is insane. New releases three times a week, with a lot of new features each time.
