I really don't understand why people still insist on prohibiting trailing commas anywhere. The syntax is interesting but it looks like defining an array of objects would be needlessly difficult. I think the double square bracket syntax is far too easy to confuse.

but... trailing commas are ok in TOML

  • edit 1: I now see the caveat of an inline table - though trailing commas are not that useful for an inline list of values anyways
  • edit 2: they're changing this for TOML 1.1: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/issues/516 .

The double square bracket is for an array of tables. A regular array looks "normal": https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0#array
