I like that the comments are terminated at the end of the lines. It
makes things safer. You only need a good editor like vim or emacs and
you will not be troubled one bit by adding -- infront of each line. I
see that the C/C++/Java Pitfalls document at
http://libre.act-europe.fr/Software_Matters/ recommends that one do not
use the /* */ in C++.

Which is why I like the more verbose Ada syntax to all the special
characters one use in C/C++ and friends. In the same document as I
mentioned above there are some simple examples that compare the C++ and
Ada source code.
