Sorry the link is not visible, javascript do have a let construct, see the previous link.

It still doesn't do what scheme's let can do, i. e. give a value a name within an expression.

Firefox JS console:
> 2 + (let (x = 3) x+x) + 5 13
(I didn't know that until I read the MDN page linked above.)
I think JS compatibility is the reason people aren't using it; even V8 doesn't like that syntax (tested in Chromium JS console and node.js REPL).

Yes, thanks for the link. At last -- this makes the language quite a bit more usable.
How's it that people is still using (function (foo) {blah blah}) (42)? Inertia?
Note that I *do* understand the construction, having read SICP, but then I'd take Scheme over Javascript any day).

I use it in some JS I've written (see uzbl) to minimize the public API of the JS code:
uzbl.follow = (function () { /* private implementation */ return { /* api object */ }; })();
