# E0008: let statement cannot declare variables named 'let'

Variables declared with `let` cannot be named `let`.

    function getLotNumber() { return 42; }

    let let = getLotNumber();
    console.log(let);

To fix this error, name the variable something other than `let`, or declare the variable with `var`:

    function getLotNumber() { return 42; }

    let lot = getLotNumber();
    console.log(lot);

    var let = getLotNumber();
    console.log(let);

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
