Well, it's LuaTeX, not Luaweb or so.  So just use
\directlua0{
    do
      local foo % not used
      error("File gives an error because the comment does end")
    end
  }
And you would have us write

\directlua0{
  function print_with_exclam(str) % Prints 'str' with an exclamation mark
    texio.write_nl(string.format("\string\%s!\string\n", str))
  end

  print_with_exclam("Hello, world")
}

  rather than

\startluacode
  function print_with_exclam(str) -- Prints 'str' with an exclamation mark
    texio.write_nl(string.format("%s!\n", str))
  end
\stopluacode

  ?

  That's not very readable and extremely error-prone, I find.
