Join the elements of a list, separated by commas

Given the list [Apple, Banana, Carrot] produce "Apple, Banana, Carrot"
fantom
["Apple", "Banana", "Carrot"].join(", ")

Join the elements of a list, in correct english

Create a function join that takes a List and produces a string containing an english language concatenation of the list. It should work with the following examples:
join([Apple, Banana, Carrot]) = "Apple, Banana, and Carrot"
join([One, Two]) = "One and Two"
join([Lonely]) = "Lonely"
join([]) = ""
fantom
join := |List list -> Str|
{
switch(list.size)
{
case 0: return ""
case 1: return list[0]
case 2: return list.join(" and ")
default: return list[0..-2].join(", ") + ", and " + list[-1]
}
}

echo(join(["Apple", "Banana", "Carrot"]))
echo(join(["One", "Two"]))
echo(join(["Lonely"]))
echo(join([,]))

Produce the combinations from two lists

Given two lists, produce the list of tuples formed by taking the combinations from the individual lists. E.g. given the letters ["a", "b", "c"] and the numbers [4, 5], produce the list: [["a", 4], ["b", 4], ["c", 4], ["a", 5], ["b", 5], ["c", 5]]
fantom
[4,5].each |Int i| { ["a","b","c"].each |Str s| { r.add([i,s]) } }

From a List Produce a List of Duplicate Entries

Taking a list:
["andrew", "bob", "chris", "bob"]

Write the code to produce a list of duplicates in the list:
["bob"]
fantom
nameCounts := Str:Int[:] { def = 0 }
["andrew", "bob", "chris", "bob"].each |Str v| { nameCounts[v]++ }
results := nameCounts.findAll |Int v, Str k->Bool| { v > 1 }.keys
echo(results.join(","))
