Well, today I learned that <!-- this --> is syntactically acceptable JavaScript
-
I can't find any reference to this in the specification, but seemingly every JavaScript engine accepts it, for obvious historical reasons
It's so you could do <script type="text/javascript"><!-- console.log('hi'); //--></script> and avoid interpreting JS as HTML
-
-
I always did <script type="text/javascript">//<!-- like some idiot
-
Outside that useful context, <!-- no match --> var x = -1; is quite a startling thing to encounter in supposedly valid JavaScript
