UNMAINTAINED

In most programming language files opened in vim, to delete all of the lines that are comments, simply hit the keys `dc` and the comments will all disappear!

------------------------------------------

Before:
------------------------------------------
# here is a comment
def Hello (name) # here is wierdly placed comment
    puts "\n-------------"
    puts "Hello, #{name}." # even a comment here will be removed
    puts '--------------'
end

puts '######' # this one too, however the `#` inside the single quotes will be fine!

# and here is another comment
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].each do |i|
    puts "hello" # and another wierd one
end

# and here is the last comment
Hello("# Benjamin #") # this one too

After:
------------------------------------------
def Hello (name)
    puts "\n-------------"
    puts "Hello, #{name}."
    puts '--------------'
end

puts '######'

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].each do |i|
    puts "hello"
end

Hello("# Benjamin #")
