Semicolons: Who do we code for?

Bootstrap is great but the drawbacks of omitting semicolons greatly outweigh the benefits. This really is a case of ego. No one argue's that the lack of semicolons is wrong...it's just not that resilient.

Of all code, JavaScript is the one put into the most unpredictable environment and shared JS libraries should keep that in mind.

And it's elitist bullshit to say that if you don't understand how JS handles semicolons then you shouldn't be coding JS professionally. Good gawd do these people think they came out of their mother's vagina writing production quality code?

I side with Crockford on this one. He's talking from experience, not ego.
