  Nitpick: as far as I can tell that's _almost_ correct. http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/index.html#release_e http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/ind... leads me to http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfront/release_e/doc/ReferenceManual.pdf http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfr..., which shows that the first external C++ release didn't have // comments. The first commercial release had, though (http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfront/release_1.0/doc/ReleaseNotes-Lifeboat.pdf http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfr...)

    Darn. :P I was only thinking of the standardized ones, but you're correct, of course!
