- Code porting: If you port C code to D, it uses /* */ in a non nested way
No. This is valid C:
/* comment /* more comment */
- The principle of least surprise: a C programmer doesn't nest them.
Nesting occurs often when various portions of code are commented.
- Complexity: every syntactic bit removed from the D language is a gain.
I guess I agree with this.
So I'm for the removal of /+ +/ and making /* */ nestable.
This can't work.
