Question

Use // for one-line comments and /* */ for multi-line comments

I think the # is abolishing all existing standards in other languages, where all comments are declared by // and /* */.

Well, that's not exactly true 🤔Most interpreted languages actually use # as comment symbol for single line comments. Plus, it is useful for having shebangs in the source code.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion though 😁

I don't think why you must be like every interpreted language ever.

Python: Hold my beer!

@timleg002
It's not just about being like every other programming language. Shebang is the main reason why I opted for this style. 😁
@vitkarpov haha true 😂

Don't know about you, but I'm a fan of keeping languages clear. Also I really hate Python, so I thought this language was worth checking out

I dislike python syntax as well. But for comments, it's just a norm in interpreted languages (one that I don't mind), plus I'd really like to maintain compatibility with the shebangs, for which I can't forfeit this syntax.
I do hope that you still enjoy the language, however, changing comments from # to // not only provides no real benefit, but also bereaves the language of a rather useful functionality - shebangs.
