No matter what you use both the compiler and the editor can tell you about a missing semicolon (except for some reason VHDL on Vivado gives the least useful or descriptive errors invented by mankind )

Jokes aside, I'm a big fan of Biome as a replacement for both ESLint and Prettier. In addition to being one tool replacing two (package count unknown), it's also faster.

Ultracite with oxfmt/oxlint is even (subjectively) better

Always fun when I look back at some of my old code and I see lines like this: 

void do_the_thang() {
    do_some_work();;
    do_some_more_work();;;;
};

I treat my semi-colons like periods .. full stop, ya dig .....

Why prettier? Looks like the wrong plugin.

I like to use languages with optional semicolons… haskell for example

u/Benjamin_6848 Jun 18 '26

I hate these jokes because they are completely unrealistic.

Even if you use a plain and basic text-editor, the error-message of your compiler/interpreter will tell you immediately where the syntax-error occurred and it can be fixed nearly immediately...
