It's a shame they didn't just make it fully line oriented (like BASIC, xBASE, shell-script, Python, Ruby, ...), with the customary backslash or ampersand to indicate an incomplete line. (but they didn't) I guess then Netscape would have had to call it FooScript (or something silly like echhh-muh-script).
The worst thing I hate about the "add semicolons!" religion is that it teaches people not to spot statements that are going to be terminated by a newline. So then, I have to see all the extra noise on each line :-(
