@TodePond
My scheme highlights comments, like, a lot. Prominent background color, high contrast text. Comments are more important than code, since they're optional and added only to enlighten the reader.

@TodePond This is a delightful thread. Thank you.

steamboathedgie,

@TodePond To Ctrl+F them more quickly, one thing that I do

Is use some simple keywords and precede them with a q

@TodePond That was a fun little poem. I've used several of those types, but nothing super fancy. Another category that sometimes makes up an embarrassingly large portion of a script is the rough draft trash code waiting to be cleared out once I'm sure I won't have to revert to it.

@TodePond Love it! 😍

But my commented-away code snippets feel neglected...

TodePond,

@noneuclideandreamer haha that's a good one

TodePond,

What colour are your comments?

Are they grey and faint,
mostly hidden,
timid to the eye?

TodePond,

Are they bold and bright,
pulling attention,
from apologetic lines?

TodePond,

Are they sparkle curled,
upheld aesthetic,
carefully manufactured style?

TodePond,

Are they tall and spiky,
full-height expanded,
detailed explanation guide?

TodePond,

What colour are your comments?

Are they slant and leaning,
light conversing,
discussion often intertwined?

TodePond,

ARE THEY BLOOD AND FIST,
DANGER WARDEN,
WARNING OFF THE POINTLESS TRY?

TodePond, (edited )

Are they peaky ended (added extra) (no more room to find)?

TodePond,

Are they outward facing,
thankful tokens,
credit to someone kind?

TodePond,

What colour are your comments?

Are they promises broken,
wanting longer days,
lost to the reaches of time?

TodePond,

Are they playful announcement,
giving final warning,
of the upcoming mountain to climb?

TodePond,

Are they structured signage?

TodePond,

express of complaint?

TodePond,

gone?

TodePond,

...

TodePond,

Whatever your comment,
Comment away!

Say what you have to say.

callyral,

@TodePond seeing only the last part of this poem i was left very confused

Jax_,

@TodePond My comments are usually complaints and confusion, but now i want to add sparkles to them, thank you

@TodePond

  • a hint of color to give it some warmth
  • dim to fade into the background, but retaining enough contrast to still be easily readable.
