Global interpretation of comments within tagged template literals

💡 Ideas
6

The clue is:

  • ES "reacts" when it meets inside tagged template literals:
    • expression semantics ${...},
    • the same string used as template start/end tags, a backtick (`) in the current case
  • for the time being, to comment out code chunks inside templates, the following workarounds are available:
    • ${''/* ... */}
    • ${''&&` ... `} (still backtick (`) gives error)
  • Any solution must be JavaScript backwards compatible
  • ES might officially adopt semantics like:
    • ${* ... *}, or
    • ${''/* ... */}

Thanks to all for your time!
