I put up with whatever semantics are necessary to get the CPU to do the right thing, but I'm more excited about CPUs than semantics.

well, i see - my statement was flawed. :)

You stand corrected then :) (or not). Does this comment thing make you want to flee to the safety of Java? I would put up with Java semantics if I were fulfilling a community service sentence.

Actually it would remind me on C. It did not even support a redundant comment token, and of course they did not used a comment to mark directives.

go troll your self. I am always open to argue, but you have no leverage to be snarky.

Your entire tirade is a troll. You got an answer from Fitz (looked reasonable to me), but you didn't like it. So you decided to take the debate to HN?! Nothing productive ever happens like this. This is some teenage angst diarrhea. Fork the project and write your own solution. Show us all how fucking brilliant you are.

while arguing against your self is nice practice - diarrhea is just... you know... really messy. I hope you get well soon. :)

Oh no, you misread what I wrote. I was comparing your tirade to diarrhea. As in, "I think your words are shit".

Sorry for the mixup! Take care!
