I don't buy the education angle. If you're not learning to code, then you want efficient code, so the comments are wasted bytes (ok, not a huge expense, but still). If you are learning to code, or just want to understand how this code works, then asking an LLM is going to get a lot better result. LLMs are fantastic tutors. Endlessly patient, go down any rabbit hole with you, will continue explaining a concept until you get it, etc. I think they're going to revolutionise education, especially for practical subjects like coding. Respect to the author for trying to educate, though. | ||

> so the comments are wasted bytes Is there any modern compiler where the output code has anything to do with the comments in the source? | ||
