That’s a very peculiar reason to prefer one language over another.
Block/inline comments are handy in languages like C and C++ which don’t
permit arguments to be specified by keyword. They let you write code like
const bool ok = dbus_connection_set_watch_functions
(
/*connection =*/ conn,
/*add_function =*/ add_watch,
/*remove_function =*/ remove_watch,
/*toggled_function =*/ toggle_watch,
/*data =*/ NULL,
/*free_data_function =*/ NULL
);
which helps keep long argument lists just that little bit more
comprehensible.
Kinda works.
But, frankly I agree with John - barely ANY reason
for C++ ... esp for 'system'-type stuff. I always
stick to good old straight-up 'C'.
"Object" works more naturally with other langs, but
I still don't love it.
