        # hash style comments
        # (because it's just one character)
      

      I always found that argumentation silly, because personally I find the “#” so visually cluttering that I want a space after it, which I don’t care to have with “//”-comments.
      The Python styleguide even recommends putting two spaces ahead of the “#” as well, which makes it four characters to start a comment.
