So I found this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/msg/55d74c184ccf247f
It's not clear to me that inline comments were outright rejected here.
Perhaps I missed some other discussion but to my biased eye the
general concensus was favourable. If inline comments were outright
rejected it is not clear to me why. Unless these kinds of decisions
are documented and easily searchable I sense these same debates will
recur again and again. DEPs anyone?
As far as I can tell the primary objection to inline comments seems to
be on aesthetic grounds. I find this hard to understand because just
about every language from python to HTML to CSS has language-specific
short comment tags. In fact CSS comment tags are the very
programmerish "/* */"!
I asked the designer that I work with. He likes the idea of {# #}
because he finds the existing comment tags too verbose. He pointed
out that a common idiom in HTML is:
<div id="somediv">
...vast amounts of content...
</div><!-- END #somediv -->
I would be interested to hear Wilson's take on this one.
