title: How do I comment in CoffeeScript? "/* this */" doesn't work
body: <p>In what ways can you comment in CoffeeScript?</p>
  
  <p>The documentation say you can use three hash symbols to start and close a comment block:</p>
  
  <pre><code>###
    Comments
    go
    here
  ###
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've found that I can sometimes use the following two formats</p>
  
  <pre><code>`// backticks allow for straight-JavaScript,
   // but the closing backtick can't be on a comment line (I think?)
  `
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Are there a simpler way to insert short comments in CoffeeScript?</p>
  
  <p>Do NOT use this style**</p>
  
  <p>Since this is getting a lot of views, I want to emphasize that</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* Comment goes here */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>produces a MATH error when the <code>/*</code> is on its own line.</p>
  
  <p>As Trevor pointed out in a comment on the question, this is a <strong>regular expression</strong>, <strong>NOT</strong> a comment!</p>
