153. You think something fishy is going on with Josh and use it as an opportunity for puns. Even on this line.

Python?

Lua code according to Notepad++

Sorry, should clarify the nature of statement:

"Python uses it"

But if Lua does, that's cool too~

I think Matlab also goes for the good old #, while TeX uses %.

Really? Wow. I've only ever used """ and never wondered if there was a single-line comment system.

I feel dumb now.

Haha really? I'd always thought """ was exclusively used for documentation purposes. I've only recently got into the habit of using it in appropriate places. I just used to add sarcastic inline comments ad nauseum at the top of respective source files

In fairness, most of my commenting is for documentation purposes.

154. When you dream that you randomly decided to visit the LT Youtube channel and discovered a new video stating that some guy named Mathew was helping Josh finish the UI. You wake up mildly disappointed that it wasn't true.

...good point about documentation purposes. I think I'm now feeling what they call 'sheepish'.

155. When 154 makes too much sense

156. when you occasionally still visit the old blog, in the hopes to discover something new.

157. When you use Josh's personal blog as an inspiration for some ideas for a senior research project.

Procedural music seems really cool, and I wanted to do my 2 year cap-stone-esque project on it (I wanted to try to generate music making algorithms, and "cross pollinate" the results to get weird genre bending stuff. Go genetic programming!), but ended up getting sidetracked into doing something else. I definitely want to try my hand at it someday, because it would be cool to just click a button and get legitimately interesting music. The applications for never ending streams of ambient music, are uh, endless.

158. When you make a spreadsheet of guesses as to what features are being worked on each month.

Python, Ruby, Bash, Perl, and Julia all use the # for delimiting comments.

// This is much more common for a programming comment
HTML uses <!--Comment-->

No. Lua uses -- for comments, along with Haskell and Ada.

// is only used by C-like languages for the most part.

I learned all this by writing a Python script that could count lines of code in different languages.

Don't forget /* this block commenting method used by C and Java, which adopted it from PL/I */.

I like that my text editor of choice, Zeus (a BRIEF clone), allows me to define delimiters for both line and block comment styles, and then lets me choose how to display commented text.

Yeah, of those I'm familiar with Python, but as I wrote earlier I only ever used """ and never wondered if there was a single-line comment system.
