how tf would a missing semicolon result in a http server error
In ASP.NET applications, specifically in ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC (pre-Core), the compilation process is dynamic and happens at runtime if source files like .cshtml, .aspx, and .cs files are present on the server.
ASP.NET uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation for views (.cshtml, .aspx, .ascx, etc.) and sometimes for code-behind files (.cs). When a request hits a page, ASP.NET dynamically compiles these files into temporary assemblies.
If there’s a syntax error, missing semicolon, incorrect type, or any other compilation issue, the process will fail and throw a 500 error.

File fails to compile, web server tries to run the file, error.
if your server runs user-submitted code server side, that’s a paddlin
