They use the `//` on many lines, instead of the common `/* ... */` like: // Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding? // - Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and // could be used to create visually identical looking account numbers. // - A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as an account number. // - E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at. // - Doubleclicking selects the whole number as one word if it's all alphanumeric. //
