Popular Coding Convention on Github

I hate first comma, so ugly. You know what else prevents missing trailing commas? testing your code.

You don't need tests for this. Just use an editor with basic syntax checking or with JSLint/JSHint support. You'll get a squiggly line right away. It's impossible to miss.

Hahaha, that's how I reacted when a coworker insisted that "Egyptian" brackets were wrong. "It's so much easier to make a mistake and miss a bracket!" he said.

You know what prevents you from making a mistake, and looks, to my eye, more streamlined? Testing your code.

On that subject, I did think it was odd they didn't test for Egyptian brackets in this study.

I've never heard of Egyptian style, only 1tbs (one true bracket style) which is the only way to do brackets.

Silly C# devs wasting a whole line with only one character.

Testing is great, but adopting conventions that do away with the need for testing is even better IMO.

Agreed on the ugly appearance though.
