Javascript also exists on the server, and an exception would cause a 500 error. Semicolons are optional in JavaScript, except for a handful of cases. One of those is in a for loop. I'm guessing the professor was running a nodejs app and did something like this (intentionally bad style because professor):

for (x = 0; x < 5 x++)
{} 
return x

Boom, syntax error, which would return a 500 air status in a nodejs web server framework.
