@fat and @douglascrockford, the HN community is now satirizing both of you. It's time for you both to do the right thing; add the semicolon to the bootstrap-dropdown.js code and change JSMin to support the original edge case.
next time go back to the definition of semicolon, and you will see why it is made of the glyphs , and .
Then you can make a true semicolon language, by mixing ; and ., (horizontal, if you will).
the first line given as an example program would go from ;;;;⁏;;⁏;;; (which doesnt even render in this browser text box for me atm) to ;;;;.,;;.,;;;
you'd think a program consisting of "only semicolons" would be easier to type. (no pun intended). reverse semicolon? Not only does my keyboard not have one, but Google doesn't even know what it is (other than a unicode character). apparently it was invented by the unicode group. next time go back to the definition of semicolon, and you will see why it is made of the glyphs , and .

Hi guys, just wanted to tag along with this thread, because I'm a huge fan of Semicolon! One thing I've always found aggravating though... Those darn semicolons! So I'm creating CoffeeColon, because all these semi-colons are such a hassle. It's probably easiest if I just show you the language in action, rather than going through a long diatribe. So here's my hello world!: " " ^ Pretty elegant, right? let's try someth…
This is the perfect opportunity to share Acme::Bleach. From the docs; The first time you run a program under use Acme::Bleach, the module removes all the unsightly printable characters from your source file. The code continues to work exactly as it did before, but now it looks like this: use Acme::Bleach; http://search.cpan.org/~dconway/Acme-Bleach-1.13/lib/Acme/Bl...
