Thanks for the heads up. Got it fixed now.

Yeah, I must confess I am surprised by the semicolon as well. But if I don't remember wrong, I think the early variants we saw of Go also hade semicolons.

Then Rob Pike made a big deal out of how they found a way to automatically insert semicolons during compilation.

I am also surprised by the use of parenthesis in if-statements and for-loops. Swift, Go and others have just done away with those.

I also wonder why the use auto with let and var statements and not just skip type annotations.
