The `/` are also the same (division), but it's true that we also use `/` to introduce types. For example `x/int`.
I think Toit is relatively easy to learn, but there are definitely a few things that need explaining in the beginning.
We then experimented with different tokens, and `/` felt best.
[Yes, colons are nice as block introducers but don’t play nice with colons for type ascription, which is where we got Python’s asinine f(x: int, y: bool) -> str; don’t know why Rust went with that instead of ML’s uniform f(x: int, y bool): str.]
Also types are optional in Toit, so they are a bit like comments (though they are now checked so they are less like comments now). So they look a little like // comments.
