Why do people complain about python's syntax without semicolons but no one complains about golang?

    Those people never tried golang?

    @juzles maybe by the time they get to a high-level programming language they learn to stop complaining

    I think there is a certain beauty to Python much like there is with Ruby but suspect people are just too trained on classic language traits to accept anything "different".

    I personally think Python lack of curly braces should be more nightmarish for Python developers.

    Not having to put semicolons never rendered any issues or hard-to-read code, at least not in golang.

    @Tychus you'd get used to it if you use them enough.

    Looking at answers how people love their semicolons and curly braces I feel a bit off. I develop in JavaScript and TypeScript for living, yet I silently dislike (not hate) their syntax. In my free time I am using mostly Scala and Haskell (both without semicolons and much fewer curly braces) and I like their syntax much more. 😐
