There is some benefit with being compatible with CLIPS (JESS's ancestor). Some departures are good like replacing COOL with Java for OO. What is the guiding principle as you look at new features? Is it JSR compatibility, CLIPS language compatibility or community outcry?

The Charlemagne IDE does have a "toggle comment" command; you select some lines and choose this menu item (or press the accelerator key) and single-line comment characters are added or removed, as appropriate, from the beginning of each line.

Another thing I will do in the engine is provide "rule properties";
you could thereby turn existing rules on or off. This works in a
running system, which is even better.

If we were to add multiline comments to the grammar, would you like to
see Java's /* ... */, or something else?
