Seriously? Nested comments are _awesome_. IMHO, if anything, the fact that the language has /* */ and /** */ is what's terrible. It makes sense for porting code, but in all respects, they are worse than /+ +/ and /++ +/. I hate it when I'm working in languages other than D and am forced to use /* */ and deal with the fact that they don't nest. It may be a small thing, but the fact that D has nested comments is just one more thing on the list of things that add up to make D a lot more pleasant to work with than other languages. - Jonathan M Davis
