Inline Comments in DSL Code

Make your models self-documenting with native support for inline comments in the CostVela DSL.

What's New

You can now add comments directly in your model code:

revenue: MonthlyRevenue * 12  // Annual revenue calculation

cogs: revenue * 0.3  // Cost of goods sold at 30% margin

// Operating expenses breakdown
salaries: EmployeeCount * AverageSalary
rent: 5000  // Fixed monthly rent
marketing: revenue * 0.15  // Marketing spend at 15% of revenue

Why This Matters

• Knowledge Transfer: New team members can understand complex models faster
• Maintenance: Future changes are easier when logic is documented
• Compliance: Audit trails for financial assumptions and business rules
• Collaboration: Better communication between finance and engineering teams

Comments are preserved throughout your model and can be viewed anytime in the model code inspector.
