This is a piece of a larger creative time PR so it's easier to review, the full scope can be seen here and includes eslint adjustments not seen here #4444


Who else does this?

Why do this?

Gaiety's explanation: "let works the way most devs think var works. scope leaking and variable hoisting is a messy confusing idea, JS got updated for a reason" also it's 2024, this isn't too controversial anymore
