JavaScript is almost the same way. It works in some browsers, but not in others. :-(

This exact issue caused us to deploy code that completely broke our application in IE7. There was a trailing comma in a list which all browsers ignore except IE6/7.

To this day we still give that dev (the team lead) a hard time about the trailing comma. We since implemented mandatory linting on all JS.
