Optional statement semicolon

[netwerkz]

Is there a good reason semicolons are mandatory?
Yes, the code is more verbose. And yes you need semicolons when separating multiple statements on the same line. But I've been getting used to not having to type the semicolons at the end of every line I type in javascript and I must say, it is quite nice. It gets a little annoying when going back to mandatory end of statement semicolon.
I just want to hear your opinion on this.
