longlive.js
// This is a code comment.
// Any line preceded by two slashes
// will not be executed as code.
// (Even if the line has otherwise functioning code in it.)
// You can also use these double slashes _after_ a line of code,
// to serve as an in-line comment on that line of code.
// (Kinda like a note in the margin.)
// This little program requires "libraries"--other programs that extend the functionality of the base node.js code
