And then there those who are the exact opposite like me.

As an example I offer this program for DECB.

http://www.coco3.com/urbane/ubn_in.htm

http://www.coco3.com/urbane/ubn_out.htm

I never put multi-statement support in the language because that is hard for the human to understand.

The DECB program ubn_out has no comments.

The same for assembly code, the output has none, why make it hard for even you to understand 3 years in the future.
