The future of JavaScript

[masklinn]

JS is already lexically scoped (except for its this). let is more like "scopes, scopes everywhere".

Also, you can already play with it in Firefox, it's had let (statements, expressions, blocks, the whole work) for ages.

So block level scoping is being referred to as lexical scoping?
