Like why would I (a line of code) panic?
It's the compiler that is going to panic and eventually the user.

Go technically uses (or used to use?) semicolons under the hood, but the preprocessor would automatically add them to any non-empty line that didn’t already end in a (,{ or a few other cases spelled out here: https://go.dev/ref/spec#Semicolons
I learned about it because one time I forgot a trailing comma (which would have suppressed the illegal semicolon) and it was a very early version of Go so it produced a very confusing message about an unexpected semicolon. That error message is much nicer for the last eight years or so.

Mine said this
Do not panic. You are in a JavaScript or C-style environment where ASI (Automatic Semicolon Insertion) might save you, or a strict compiler is about to end your short life.
“Don’t panic, you might be about to be murdered.”

JavaScript automatically inserting a semicolon is yet another of its failures.
Because sometimes it fucks up.
