Ciao,
I am a beginner with elisp (using Emacs 26.3), but I have some
experience with Scheme; I wonder why elisp's reader does not support
form comments as in Scheme:
#;(progn ...)
and block comments as in Scheme:
#|
(progn ...)
|#
I find them really useful, and I am missing them while writing elisp
code.
TIA

Hello.
You can do the following tricks;)
Unfortunately, it is not a formal feature.
^_ is entered as C-q C-_.
--- test.el ---
;;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
(print 1)
#@
(print 2)
(print 3)
\x1f^_
(print 4)
---------------
$ emacs --batch -l test.el
