Fair enough, but for the ';', as others explained meanwhile, I think it's pretty simple to understand, it's just that we are not used to it because of C syntax.

EDIT: actually, you are right about ';', it is confusing when I think about it: it does not have the same behavior in a branch of a `match` and in the branch of an `if`… I wonder how I never had problem with that before.

It depends on the learning path of each one.

In the Pascal family of languages, ';' is a separator as well.
