How can I comment multiple lines in Ruby?
10 s
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
=begin
Every body mentioned this way
to have multiline comments.
The =begin and =end must be at the beginning of the line or
it will be a syntax error.
=end
puts "Hello world!"
<<-DOC
Also, you could create a docstring.
which...
DOC
puts "Hello world!"
"..is kinda ugly and creates
a String instance, but I know one guy
with a Smalltalk background, who
does this."
puts "Hello world!"
##
# most
# people
# do
# this
__END__
But all forgot there is another option.
Only at the end of a file, of course.
