It's too bad it'll be a long while before these can be used in node modules without a transpiler :-(

Or just require devs to use --harmony. I think there are a couple modules that do so... like koa. :)

Of course, since that's basically "experimental" I guess people would think your module is also "experimental". But I think let and const are pretty darn stable.

Maybe when io.js and node.js merge :)

Available in the latest version of Node or only io.js?

It's in Node.js v0.12.0, but only with the --harmony flag (and I think you also have to specify --use-strict).

Also note that even in io.js you need to enable "strict mode;" in all scripts!
