Yeah, it's explicitly distinct from const a: String which says it won't change, and var a: String, which means this is legacy code that needs fixing.

If there's only two options you only need one keyword

True, but var and let are not same in js, so there is three.

if(true) {

var a = "dumdum"

}

console.log(a)

Is valid and functioning javascript. With let it is not.
