    I get this warning in my IDE (VS Code) so I feel safe:

    The character U+037e “;” could be confused with the ASCII character U+003b “;”, which is more common in source code.

        Yes, true. I also did setup so that any missing semicolon will be added, because I got sick of not inserting them sometimes and then some code was without them and some was. (Before I tested just leaving them all out, out of fun, so I got into the habit of just leaving them out regularly)

        thanks to eslint enforcing it in the default rules it’s necessary for most typescript projects
