Raku (previously called Perl 6) uses the same line comments and POD comments as Perl, but adds a configurable block comment type: "multi-line / embedded comments". [42] It starts with #` and then an opening bracket character and ends with the matching closing bracket character. [42] For example:
Javadoc ignores comments unless they are specially marked. A Javadoc comment is marked with an extra asterisk after the start of a multi-line comment: /**. A comment block pertains to the symbol that follows the block. An example of a class header block follows:
All examples are given for languages with C-like comments where a multi-line comment starts with /* and a single line comment starts with //. Doxygen ignores a comment unless it is marked specially. For a multi-line comment, the comment must start with /** or /*!. A markup tag is prefixed with a backslash (\) or an at-sign (@). [16]
Some form of line comment serves as line continuation. Turbo Assembler: \ m4: dnl; TeX: % Character position. Fortran 77: A non-comment line is a continuation of the prior non-comment line if any non-space character appears in column 6. Comment lines cannot be continued.
List comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation (set comprehension) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.

Comments are a form of human-readable metadata, and lengthy comments can disrupt the flow of code. This can be the case either for a long comment for a short section of code, such as a paragraph to explain one line, or comments for documentation generators, such as Javadoc or XML Documentation. Code folding allows one to have long comments, but ...
Java has three kinds of comments: traditional comments, end-of-line comments and documentation comments. Traditional comments, also known as block comments, start with /* and end with */, they may span across multiple lines. This type of comment was derived from C and C++.
