"let" is 11 years old.

My point is that the web is not really an unstable platform anymore, it's just something people say that used to be true. Also using var and other superceded constructions doesn't make the code bad; that's not what bad code is. I think you know this.

I think I know that different people have different metrics what bad code is.

My main metric is, if it is readable. So yes, I also don't consider my old code with var bad. But other people do.
