You can call it an “attribute” and you can also call it a “comment that affects the code” - they’re both just labels for the same thing. If you don’t want the latter to be a legitimate label (and it is, because I’ve communicated that idea with those words and you’ve understood what I’m referring to immediately) then the solution is to use any other symbol other than those reserved for comments. Imagine if we just had something like const a = 2 * 3 *[pineapples] * 10 and pineapples was coloured in like a variable in your syntax highlighting and people were like oh yeah don’t worry about that, that’s just a comment in the middle of the arithmetic. It’s ludicrous.
