Wadler's Law: "In any language design, the total time spent discussing a feature in this list is proportional to two raised to the power of its position:

  0. Semantics
  1. Syntax
  2. Lexical syntax
  3. Lexical syntax of comments"
1 comments

Speaking of which, I was quite pleased to see the inclusion of nested comments. Makes getting rid of currently incorrect code during development much easier.
