It might be misleading,
Well, that's _exactly_ the harm in that.
so don't write it like that :)
Sure, but that's the inverse of the problem. The problem isn't that _you_ can write a comment anywhere. It's that when you're reviewing my code _I_ can put a comment anywhere, and make your day that little bit worse. One answer to that is a lint rule, I suppose, and then you reject my submission because I did some crazy nonsense with comments.
I actually like the fact that i can put comment anywhere i want, and it doesn't disrupts the parser. Of course, it turns to be a problem, when you think that something must be represented by a single token but it cannot, because it split by comment.
Exactly, which makes parsing that little bit worse.
But to me it is much more important that i can put comment anywhere i like, without thinking "oh.. it may not compile".
I suppose that's fine for hacking around. I just wouldn't want to review code with these kinds of comments in it. QA's hard enough already. frank

but who in his/her sane mind would write like that?
Apparently the parser removes all the comments before doing anything else.

How does 1"sdads"2 evaluate? To 12?
Yes the same... 1"sdads"2 is interpreted as 12 and all estrange combinations...
I think this shouldn't be valid but since there are tests verifying the behavior maybe there was a reason (more than the scanner we are using is skipping all the comments without letting the parser decide)
