Right!? I _physically_ recoil every time I see that. I think that's the clearest example of normalisation of deviance [1] I know.
Seems like anyone that enters the industry straight from data instead of moving from a more (software) engineering background gets used to this.
And the arguments in favour are always so weak!
- It's easier to comment out lines
- Easier to not miss a comma
Those are picked up in seconds by the compiler. And are a tiny help in writing code vs violating a core writing convention from basically every other language.

- disgruntledphd2 2y agoI'm a data person and despite seeing this for years, still despise that approach to commas. Seriously, it's not that hard to comment out the damn comma.
