There are two kinds of message cascades.
For some reason, before reading this, I misunderstood the “cascade” as a metaphor for composition, were the water fallen from a first cascade might flow as input to a second cascade; but now I see this is clearly wrong and the cascade means exactly the contrary, since the punctuation
::and;breaks that continuity. It means a jump in the regular flow of evaluation, as a cascade means a jump.The double colon syntax is specific to Cuis; at least it is not valid syntax in Squeak.

Sure, you have a few extra newlines and semicolons, but the minifier will remove them anyway so no harm.

This semi-colon is added to prevent changing the code behaviour (the famous line ending with parentheses, etc) Most people will use a JS minifier If they don't, a single extra character is unlikely to change much If I'm right about all the above: Why don't we simply always add a semi-colon regardless of what the file ends with?
