Use let and const for docs?

Does plotly assume ES6 support? Should let and const be used in the docs for modern practice because var has some tricky pitfalls?

We do not assume ES6 although your suggestion is probably a good one. We would accept a PR that made this change :)

I don't know if the docs should use let if we cannot guarantee ES6 support. The change would affect pretty much every single page which is a lot, though I noticed some code already uses ES6 arrow functions so those have to have ES6 already.

We'd probably accept some big standardizing PRs yup.
