Dear all, We've talked about various let-binding forms in the past, and the let-declaration form has pretty wide support. The other two forms proposed for ES4 were more controversial. I've just posted a small strawman proposal for let expressions that brings this down to just one additional form, and ends up being more useful to boot-- you can *both* execute statements *and* produce a result value. A quick example:
f(let (a = getArray()) { if (x.length === 0) throw "empty array"; => a[0] }) Read all about it here: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:let_expressions The proposal is short, but hopefully it gets the point across. I'd be more than happy to discuss it here. Comments most welcome!
