I completely agree with this. I love Go! It is the most excited I have been about a programming language since Python, but the semi-colon issue is stupid. Why do automatic insertion of semi-colons if it causes problems? Why not just let developers insert the semi-colons themselves? Programmers have done so for decades so it probably won't kill them. Do it right or don't do it at all (automatic semi-colon insertion).

It is supposed to be a systems language like C, but better. It's sort of like Pythonic C (very expressive, but still C like).
