Comments

In general, programmers try to keep code easy to read, but there are times when you need extra explanation. In these cases programmers leave comments in the source code that Lesma will ignore, but others will read.

Comments start after #. Here's a simple comment

# My first comment!

Everything after # will be considered a comment until the end of the line. To span multiple lines you need to add # on each line.

# This
# is
# a
# multiline
# comment

You'll usually see comments either after the line it's about, or, more commonly, above it.
