Hello,
I also use many different languages, and not a fan of the
Python/Ruby comment syntax "#" :P
First, the justification:
1. Many keyboards does not have an one key access to "#",
as the "/" key, mine for instance, I usually need to look at alt-3
or shift-3 combination.
2. Most languages adopts a C++ like approach to use the one key "/"
found in many US based keyboards.
3. People from Go, C++, Delphi, Rust, Xojo, Java, Javascript, etc
are used to // double slash comments
So I propose the following alias, as an alternative syntax
to please such people like myself:
// -> #
/// -> ##
//- -> #[
-// -> ]#
// This is a comment
/// This is a doc comment (As Rust does)
//- Multiline Explanation
The minus sign is one key press too
Squared brackets are terrible to find in some keyboards
like the Swiss-German Apple keyboard,
They are hidden as the double press combination, alt-5 and alt-6. -//
//------------------- Note in the proposed syntax -----------------------
This ALTERNATIVE syntax does not supersedes the current Pythonesque one,
It just satisfies both worlds
------------------------------------------------------------------------//
