You can also use `comment-start' instead of hardcoding ';',
and use explicit repitition instead of hardcoding 3 - see

  (info "(elisp) Regexp Backslash")

- and then also not hardcode the 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s in pairs
but inserting them as integers into the string.

So yes, you can improve a lot! And spend all weekend on it.
