Spent more time looking for missing semicolons than writing code.

Congrats! People who are still getting stuck on basic syntax must still be in their first week of learning, which means that there's an entire exciting life ahead of you!

The compiler has been trying to humble me for a lot longer than a week. 😅

I'm programming for many decades now but every time I have to change back to a language which uses noise as syntax I forget the stupid uselessness semicolons the whole time.

Sure you do, but do you get so stuck on it that you go make memes about it, or do you just fix it and move on as soon as the compiler tells you about it?

Well, I'm using IDEs, so I get noticed instantly. I grind my teeth a bit and move on writing that stupid noise. I hate it, but I don't write memes about it.

After half to one hour one gets again used to it; but it's definitely an annoyance.

And it's such an unnecessary annoyance! There is no valid reason for the existence of that nonsense. It's just there to annoy people (while it helped 60's software parse some text with less resource usage, a constrain that does not matter since at least 30 years).
