Semicolons aren't noise; you've read the statement before you even get to them so how can they be noise? Noise would be type info added to languages that didn't have it before, such as TypeScript. Generics can get pretty gnarley too, when you have nested typing info involved.

Noise as in new line already terminates. That’s one reason Python and Ruby code are cleaner to read.
