let function

[Alexander Jones]

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
