When I said throw out, I didn't mean deprecate. I meant like 'let is the new var' - an entirely optional programming choice.
I'm not sure what warrants that kind of hostility, but I knew enough of the spec to know that 'use strict' prohibited function declarations as statements, and that let and const had attractive, sound and intuitive semantics. I'm sorry if you feel that's an inappropriate basis for a mailing list post, but I disagree. Thanks On Thursday, 14 May 2015, Kevin Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good points.
