A) It's kind of presumptuous to show up in an esoteric lisp community and ask them to adopt C-style comments for your sake.
B) "We think for a while before typing" is the worst excuse ever for a hard-to-type construct. Why not just make it easy? Especially for comments. Make bad code hard to type.

- aplusbi 16y agoI read "We think for a while before typing" to be a snide remark as in, "Think about your feature request for awhile before typing it up."
- loup-vaillant 16y agoA) Agree, especially since we have syntax highlighting. B) Agree. I have a better excuse: "not everyone uses Qwerty". In my keyboard, for instance "-" is very accessible, and "/" a tiny bit less so.
