Would you like support for trailing commas in #scala? Vote here: https://github.com/scala/scala.github.com/pull/533 …

@dwijnand I'm on this—Scala doesn't need yet more syntax for people to fight over / be surprised by / be inconsistent about.

I don’t see how this feature would be surprising. It would help us, the supporters of this. Would it harm you?

It forces me either to put up with inconsistency or to have this awful conversation for every new team and codebase. :)

What inconsistency?

`Seq(1,)` vs. `Seq(1)`. Every project I work on has (sometimes implicit) conventions about semicolon use, whitespace, etc.

…this is just one more thing to squabble about, have to enforce via linting or in code review, etc.
