I have a question...I am learning some programming languages and have
noticed that some languages such as Pascal and C++ use delimiters on both
ends of comments. Other languages, such as Fortran and Ada, use a symbol of
symbols to indicate the beginning of a comment and the end of line to
terminate it. Why would these languages take such different aprouches to
solving the same problem and which method is better?
