Oh. Oh dear. *sigh*
Well, I do confess that there's nostalgic joy at the prospect of being able to type: let x=7 (which I don't think I've done since I last used BASIC back in I don't know when. Around the 1800s, wasn't it?) But I'm not sure I'd introduce a whole new keyword for it. I'd probably make var scope work 'as commonly expected' - i.e. block-level - in ES4 and throw in a compiler switch to turn it off for backwards compatibility. But I guess that could be 'as commonly expected - by me'. ;-) Ian On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 11:51 PM, Francis Cheng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ian, help is on the way, the ECMAScript 4th edition draft specification > contains a new keyword, "let", that can be used in place of "var" to > provide block-level scoping.
