because semicolons are tiny characters that oftenhave to be appended to the end of lines (precisely the worst place for them to be easily visible, since they'll blend in with the previous character)

whitespace meanwhile is very easy to notice that it's missing, as i'm sure you noticed when reading the above sentence.

In both cases, you press compile and the compiler goes "you missed a whitespace/semicolon HERE"
