I was surprised to learn that many grammarians would consider a comma here to be wrong. They call it a "comma splice".
Strunk & White note that splices are sometimes acceptable when the clauses are short and alike in form, such as:

"The gate swung apart, the bridge fell, the portcullis was drawn up.
The famous sentence I came, I saw, I conquered falls into the same category."
