AppleScript (*Hello I am a comment*) 
ASP <% 'Hello I am a comment. %>
Bash # Hello I am a comment 
C // Hello I am a comment
C++ /* Hello I am a comment */
CSS /*  Hello I am a comment */
Coldfusion <!--- Hello I am a comment --->
DOS :: Hello I am a comment 
Erlang % Hello I am a comment 
HTML <!-- Hello I am a comment -->
Java // Hello I am a comment 
JavaScript  /* Hello I am a comment */ 
Liquid {% comment %} Hello I am a comment {% endcomment %} 
Lua -- Hello I am a comment --
Perl # Hello I am a comment  
PHP <?php // Hello I am a comment ?>
Python # Hello I am a comment  
Regex (?#Hello I am a comment)
Rails <%# Hello I am a comment %>
Ruby # Hello I am a comment 
Smarty {* Hello I am a comment *}
XML <!-- Hello I am a comment -->
YAML # Hello I am a comment

I've been wondering what comment style is used in Liquid.

Got any to share?

    Python has # comment, not // comment

    The DOS shell uses the double-colon:

    ::

    @topfunky, DOS is always almost forgotten. Thanks for that input.

    @stoyan, thanks on the Erlang input. I've been meaning to check Erlang.

    C++ uses both (C-kind) styles, and C uses the first, or both, from C99 forward:

    /* This is a comment. */ // So is this.

    According to the Liquid help at Shopify, Liquid uses this form:

    Hi there. {% comment %} I am hidden. {% endcomment %}
