Comments aren't meant to be documentation

Documentation is supposed to be in the documentation, not in the code.

Some tooling generates documentation from comments. Like rustdoc or LDoc.

I'll be honest, I mostly skimmed through your comment. Sorry if it's something you touch upon later on.

They're doing more than math.

Huh? Did you mean to reply to me? I never mentioned math.

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 2 months ago

I was as an allusion to a vowel off the "math" from the length that you even mention not reading the entire volume of.

If you get it, you get it. If you don't, that is, in and of itself, respectable.
