Force Jade to ignore comments inside script tag

I know that commenting a line of code with //- will make the line invisible to Jade compiler.

It should and does work most of times, but it totally fails within script. tag.

For example:

script.
    //- this will alert!!!
    alert('test');

There still is the comment in the compiled code:

<script>
    //- this will alert!!!
    alert('test');
</script>

I want to keep commenting in my inline javascript code, but not letting it to the production side, how can I achieve that ?

Note the dot in script. . The dotted block is plain text, jade syntax doesn't work there. You can have a normal block, and escape each JS line with |:

script
    //- this will alert!!!
    | alert('test');

but this is rather silly. Much better would be to use external scripts and minify them for production.
