[TYPO3-mvc] RFC: New comments in FLUID

[Claus Due]

Hi everybody,

Yep. I have that same feeling after loosely reading. And here's why:

Fluid already has f:comment. Why do we need a change that increases parsing time, complicates transparency and uses off-standard annotations, when we already have something that does exactly what is needed? Is this for aestethic reasons in your editor's code highlighting? If so… then I would have to say that pushing for a core change in Fluid itself is rather optimistic given the severe implications.

My vote is a clear no. This is bad thinking. We don't want this given the performance and transparency concerns combined with the fact that what you desire to do is already possible to do. Sorry, but it's just not smart and not necessary.

Cheers,
Claus
