“…In addition, frequentlyused symbols in other languages such as =, { or } maintain their semantics Make elements distinguishable Keywords, different syntax highlighting and an outline view are used to make elements distinguishable Use syntactic sugar appropriately We avoid syntactic sugar since we think that in a small DSL expressing the same concepts in different ways can be counterproductive, confusing users and hindering validation and code generation unnecessarily Permit comments [45] Support for common types of comments: single-line comments (//) and multi-line comments (/*..*/)…”

-Machine learning is one of the most important subfields of computer science and can be used to solve a variety of interesting artificial intelligence problems. There are different languages, framework and tools to define the data needed to solve machine learning-based problems. However, there is a great number of very diverse alternatives which makes it difficult the intercommunication, portability and re-usability of the definitions, designs or algorithms that any developer may create. In this paper, we take the first step towards a language and a development environment independent of the underlying technologies, allowing developers to design solutions to solve machine learning-based problems in a simple and fast way, automatically generating code for other technologies. That can be considered a transparent bridge among current technologies. We rely on Model-Driven Engineering approach, focusing on the creation of models to abstract the definition of artifacts from the underlying technologies.

-With the proliferation of mobile and distributed systems capable of providing its geoposition and even the geoposition of any other element, commonly called point of interest, developers have created a multitude of new software applications. For this purpose, different technologies such as the GPS or mobile networks are used. There are different languages or formats used to define these points of interest and some applications that facilitate such work. However, there is no globally accepted standard language, which complicates the intercommunication, portability and re-usability of the definitions of points of interest currently in use. In this paper, we take the first steps towards a language and a development environment independent of the underlying technologies, allowing developers to define the points of interest in a simple and fast way, and automatically generate other different formats from the same definition that can be considered a bridge among current technologies. We use the Model-Driven Engineering approach, focusing on the creation of models to abstract the definition of systems from the underlying technologies.

The rule of RTL/2 has the further major advantage that it allows comments to be inserted anywhere in a line and not just at the end whilst still being just one rule. It is often very convenient to put a Of a line to act as a side-heading in large initialized data tables.A short start-of-line comment can also be used to comments strings L~~~~~ design mark temporary coding or special cases where it is important that the comment is easily identified comment at the

The definition of comments in programming languages

Abstract: This paper examines the concept of comments in programming languages and answers the questions: Why are they needed? How are they defined and implemented in existing languages? What should be provided in future languages?
