In Of parser-fetishists and semi-colons, Chris Heilmann brings up the importance of code maintainability, something that I feel is overlooked a bit too often.
The main issue Chris talks about is omitting semi-colons at the end of JavaScript statements, the subject of a current JavaScript drama. Doing so is valid syntax in many cases, and browsers parse and execute the code fine. However, it does not improve code readability for humans, who are often as important to target as the browsers that run the code.
