Correction:
-- works as comments in luacode
    % is used to format strings
It's a bit different: code below is ok, and TeX comment is seen "before"
lua comment .
Only Hello! is print on pdf
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \def\Foo{%
\startluacode
-- this is a lua comment
%%  this is a TeX comment
\stopluacode
}
sure, since you use a \def which then stores catcodes as they are in tex
mode
\startluacode
       function document.luigishouldknowbetter(whatever)
               for i=1,100 do
                       print(whatever) -- this is a lua comment
               end
       end
\stopluacode
\def\Foo
  {\ctxlua{document.luigishouldknowbetter("Hello world!")}}
Exactly.
In my opinion, this is better than my example, because I don't like to mix
things  (and also for namespace document).
