-"But to save yourself time and troubles, just place them all the time"- Or to save even more time, just put semicolons before raw expressions (not very common at all) and omit them everywhere else. ASI is a feature not a problem like many people make it look like. A good informative article nonetheless.<p><pre><code> ;(function(){}()) // Common IIFE
'use strict'; // need semicolon here
// Not very common without an assignment
;'string'.method()
;[0,1,2,3].method()
;/regex/.method()</code></pre>
