I propose the following syntax for comments: BTW The comment wouldn't care what's there, and it would run until the end of the line. I used this in my example on [[contributions:operators]] --- //Kyle, 2007/05/29 04:50// I think I've seen a suggestion on another page of "^^" as a comment string. I think I vote for BTW, though having both would be OK too. --- //ILikePi, 2007/05/29 12:07// I like the use of BTW in the case statement. May I suggest "SHH" or "PSST" for comments? --- //Andrew White, 2007/05/29 14:36// Might I suggest using BTW to write to the process' standard debug/error output stream instead? It would be used to log debug information about the program as it runs normally. SSH or PSST might also do, although I think BTW best. And also, when it comes to the ^^ comments, the main advantage is that it is easy to see they are not part of the program code. Imagine the following commented out lines: BTW I HAS A VAR Versus: ^^ I HAS A VAR Alternatively >< I HAS A VAR Although I think thats a little confusing. - skiy Agree, using punctuation chars for marking comments would make them far easier to see. At least until editors support lolcode syntax highlighting xD --- //Nicolas, 2007/05/29 18:33// Heh, syntax highlighting isn't out of the question. :P I've got Notepad++ and Kate that I can create highlighting schemes for. --- //GandalfDaGraay, 2007/05/30 18:31// ---- What about comment blocks? Perhaps borrowing a page from forums: QUOTE: blah blah blah moar commentz omg this is borken! TL;DR --- //Geordan Rosario, 2007/05/30 21:28// ---- I've proposed TL;DR as a way for [[hey-guys|thread death]] for resource starvation... Threads just naturally came to mind when I was thinking of forum-lingo like TL;DR :) --- //wohali, 2007/05/30 21:36// ---- Regarding making comments stand out: comments are pretty much the only thing in lolcode that's in lowercase, so whatever keyword is used (I personally think BTW works great) you can't miss them. --- //garoo, 2007/05/31// ---- I think a comment block with BTW at the beginning of each line is pretty ugly, not to mention a pain to work with if you want to test code and comment out a whole section, say. I like BTW for single line comments (like / / in C), and how about OBTW ... TL;DR for a comment block (like /* ... */ in C). --- //xrestassuredx, 2007/05/31// ---- BTW could work well for the FINALLY block on TRY CATCH FINALLY if it doesn't already have one. Surely better for comments is I Agree With This Comment IAWTC --- //zed, 2007/03/06//
