Hide comment in current buffer

Question

Is their a way to hide comment whatever the language used?

Like if I'm in cpp mode all /* ... */ should be hide and if I'm on LaTeX mode, all % ... will be hide.

The package hide-comnt available from Melpa (now marmalade) can do it:

M-x hide/show-comments-toggle

There are a few packages out there that attempt this, but hide-comnt is the only one I see that actually makes comments appear to be removed rather than just blanking out the lines and leaving a bunch of unwanted whitespace.
