While we're on the subject, I just want to say that I hate C because of
those /* */ style comments. I only like Smalltalk because it has ""
comments. This is because to me a comment is like the author is talking in
his own words so quotation marks are a good choice for comments. But the
best language ever would use parentheses for comments, because comments are
like a parenthetical aside, as in (by the way, I'm so glad this comment is
in parentheses)
