I think the real loss here is that with a # or // the person reading the file immediately knows this is a comment. This line won't be read by the interpretor, and it's purely here for me to read it, so I probably should do. The following however { "comment": "Some comment", ... } Suddenly I'm not sure if this is meant for me, or if it's actually a configurable state without going into the program itself and checking if it uses it.
