Why use `var`?
HTMX uses var in many places. This leads to variable leakage. Oddly, in a couple places it already uses let and const. Why the inconsistency?
edit: from some short research it seems like IE11 doesn't support the one place where it actually helps leakage, but i'm not entirely sure, would appreciate it if someone who knows more clarified why it's this way
Yes. it is possible to use var within the HTMX codebase. it is related to compatibility with IE11
What's the status of phasing out IE11? Is IE11 a requirement of some significant sponsor of this project?
It's planned to be removed from v2 iirc.
Removing it now would be a disaster and come with a big loss of trust.

OK. I did a quick search and couldn't locate any container epic issue.
Supporting IE11 without transpiling or whatnot has some loss of trust in the other direction.
