:::::: Yet they would be doing totally different things. Some languages only have block comments, some only have to-end-of-line comments, some have both. Some even have neither (or at least it's non-trivial to determine what is really a comment with something like [[SNUSP]]…) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 16:35, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::: Certainly. Hm. I think my goal in such a task is more to describe the nature of comments in the language by creating machinery to recognize those comments. Similar to [[Quine]] in that it's about comprehension of self's language, but with a focus on comments. It's not as consistent as recognizing specific classes of comments. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 17:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
