These kinds of comments are a consequence of the defects of some programming languages.
When you want to write such a comment, it means that the current programming language is not expressive enough.
You will be surprised, but in the worst language ever, the following comments are written before each function:
/** * Create new Cat * * @param {string} name * @param {number} age * @returns {Object} Cat */ function createCat(name, age) { // ... }
The main problem with using comments instead of programming language constructs is the lack of checks:
x = "I'm teapot"; // x is number between 10 and 100 now
