Hi,
some time (years 
ago there was a discussion about multi line comments
in ruby on this list. I didn’t follow it completely, just found it in
news.google. There were sth. about 60 postings but AFAIK today (and it is
2 years later!) there is still no other way to make multi line comments
in ruby then the cumbersome
=begin
…
=end
block? Is this right, or have I simply missed something?
IMHO a simple c/c++ style comment
/*
…
*/
is missing in ruby!

Personally I don’t miss it since I don’t find =begin =end tedious. As far
as I remember there was some problem with the language syntax that
prevented usage of /* */. And, after all: Ruby != C…

Here’s an evil hack that you should not use:

Because it exists.

No, I say one should not use it as in ‘refrain from using it unless
you precisely know what you are doing’ (the RFC SHOULD that is :-).
