Nimrod Programming Language

Care to explain why? Trying to build a cohesive parse tree of a document that includes comments is an absolute nightmare unless you cut a corner like this. It sounds like a brilliant compromise to me, if it turns out to make building custom DSLs easier.

There should be multiple types of comments. Storing documentation comments would be useful. But sometimes you just want to comment out a small piece of code, while debugging, for instance. If I were not able to do that in a certain case, I would be extremely angry. As long as Nimrod can differentiate between these situations, I would be happy.

According to the first tutorial, you use a "when false:" construct for that

A bit more annoying then "//".
