'relaxed' array syntax

Hi!

There’s a feature in perl, which I like (pls don’t flood :slight_smile:
You can place an extra comma after the last element, so eg. in ruby
a= [1,2,3,] wouldn’t generate error message.
Is it possible?
It can be handy, if the elements are long, and you must not worry about
it is the last element, or not.

Err, yes it works exactly like that in Ruby - try it!

Don’t you have Ruby installed? :slight_smile:

irb(main):002:0> a = [1,2,3,]
=> [1, 2, 3]

With all due respect, a 10 second test would have told you the
answer. Shorter than composing the question to the list!

irb(main):001:0> a = [1,2,3,]
[1, 2, 3]
