Fuck it, go one step further and stop using languages that expect you to use any formal syntax. Just write down "Computer do this thing! Now, good and bigly like!" and then wait for it to happen.

Of all the fucking complaints about a language "requires semicolons" is the most ridiculous thing I've heard (and no you're not the first place I've heard it, but it's still as ridiculous now as it was the first time I heard it).

> Ruby, Python, JS all don't ask you for semi colons.

Except, JS does require semicolons, it just happens to be able to insert them for you in some situations.

> Array expression is also too verbose in PHP

Array syntax in PHP is the same as in JS: `['foo', 'bar', 'bar'];`. Oh that nasty semicolon is the "verbose" part I bet?
