How do you think EVERYONE finally comes to the conclusion they are of
prime importance?
It is so funny the way younger programmers think we old timers are so
keen on comments purely out of a sense of aesthetics. We learned
through deep pain. Ditto the importance of encapsulation.
I'm not in your world. I've never been around programmers and I've
never accociated with them. I am 100% self taught and therefore I've
never been been inclined, or had reason to think about your question.
I've also never had reason or inclination to consider if/why
professional programmers use comments.
Your comment also assumes that anyone learning java is young. This is
quite a big assumption.
