""Doc comments are critical in Go as they provide necessary documentation for exported names. Every exported (capitalized) name should have a corresponding doc comment for clarity and usability.""
""Implementing Go-style comments requires a careful selection of regex patterns to ensure that doc comments are preserved while non-doc comments are removed effectively.""
The article discusses the importance of 'doc comments' in Go, which must precede top-level declarations without any line breaks. It highlights that every exported entity requires a doc comment. The author describes their approach to modifying the comment removal process by implementing Go-style comments using regex patterns that accommodate the syntax's unique characteristics. A test case is created to ensure that the code correctly preserves doc comments while stripping away non-doc comments, focusing on implementing negative lookaheads in regex for this purpose.
