Multi-Line Comment Evolution

// Multi // Line // Comment /* Multi Line Comment */ /**************** * Multi * Line * Comment ****************/ if(0) { System.out.println("" + "Multi" + "Line" + "Comment") }

A four-panel expanding-brain meme shows increasingly elaborate ways to write a multi-line comment in code, ending with Java code that prints the words instead of using a comment. The joke is that overthinking and escalating cleverness turns a simple programming task into absurdly complicated code, so it is shared as a reaction to unnecessary complexity or programmer overengineering.
