I am putting together a Joy mode for the Jed text editor, in order for

bracket checking to work I need to rely on # acting as a single line

comment character.

Joy seems quite happy with this, though I cannot find any example of

its use in the disrto.

Ok to use # ?

The # character for end-of-line comments is a recent addition.

Since then I have only written one library:  grmlib.joy  on the main

Joy page,  and it uses this new feature.

(Nice "Ruple" page, Neil. Will you now compose symphonies in Joy ?)

I'll try :) Joy seems a little beyond me at present so it will be an

interesting path to travel.
