I was playing around with some Javascript snippets today and noticed that this code would actually run:

{{for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {{{{
  alert(i);
}}}}}}

You can try it out for yourself on jsFiddle.

Why does this run without any syntax errors? What do the repeated brackets mean? Does Javascript just ignore repeated curly braces?

    { x++; } is a “Block Statement“.

    {{{ x++; }}} is a block inside a block inside a block.

    The code inside each block is executed. So adding extra {} around someting doesn’t do anythng.
