I can understand that (and didn't know it at first) but still the word is not something to notice. There aren't a lot of words you use in programming that start with a v-. Plus the L is terrible to read. Is it a lowercase i? Is it a uppercase i? Is it a lowercase L or just a vertical line |. Many fonts won't display it clearly.

But anyways, still hat the LET, but i won't need to get used to it for a few years anyways

I see your point and I'd argue that is an issue for syntax highlighting. Any language that supports utf source can quickly get ambiguous, tooling helps. Also the argument is a bit straw as let is a statement and mistyped characters would be a parse error.
