Yes, one might regret the inability to nest comments; single line comments in C-derived languages have the nice property that they could live inside block comments, which can be handy when you want to temporarily hide a block of code possibly containing comments; say when reformatting/restructuring a large piece of code, and working to get it to compile piece by piece. But nested comments would be superior still, although maybe a bit more irritating to parse.
