How to execute JavaScript code in EJS template?

If possible I want to change only the ejs file that looks like:

...
<?= comment.description -?>
...

comment.description contains something like this:

foo
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

Is it possible to execute JavaScript code inside of template before using comment.description?

I only want to delete the first line of comment.description:

comment.description = comment.description.split("\n").slice(1).join("\n");

= means that what's inside is going to be visible in html. To make a variable or compute JS you don't need =.

E.g.:

<? comment.description = comment.description.split("\n").slice(1).join("\n"); -?>  
<?= comment.description -?>
