The utopian future we could've had if SQL didn't punish us for that innocent trailing comma. Nothing says "welcome to database hell" like spending 20 minutes debugging a query only to find you left a comma after the last column in your SELECT statement. Meanwhile, every modern language lets you add trailing commas in arrays/objects because they're not sadistic. The irony? SQL was supposed to be "human-readable" but decided syntax errors were more fun than technological advancement. No wonder our flying cars got delayed.
