Glad you take it like a champ :)
Automatic Semicolon Insertion (ASI) has (sadly) been a part of JavaScript longer than 2016. I’m not sure exactly when it was introduced, but this document from 2009 already contains it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120418215856/https://ecma262-5.com/ELS5_Section_7.htm#Section_7.9
