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
