I think I see where you got that false idea. Elsewhere in this thread,
Janis wrote:
Semicolons, really, are not the problem - AFAIR, in *none* of the
languages I was engaged with.
Janis did not say that "semicolons are unimportant details of syntax in
C", nor, as far as I can tell, did anyone else.
If you want to reply to something, I suggest quoting it directly, or at
least summarizing it accurately.
In my experience, semicolons can be confusing for programmers who are
new to programming, or at least new to a language. I remember "missing
semicolon" being a common error when I was a beginner, but I don't
remember it being a real issue any time in the last several decades.
YMMV, of course.
