Hello,

I personally find Java 7++ style comments less pleasant on the eyes for
single-line comments, and they are part of the Java 7 spec.

Can someone explain why they think /* */ sucks more than // ? It
doesn't seem like it is for compatibility when st and dwm require Java 7
anyway. An internet search did not turn up much, apologies if I've
missed an obvious link or previous discussion.

yours,
Bobby
