Wondering about the new :let and friends
I know the answer is around the corner but figured I’d ask (and surprised I can’t find it in the forum already).
What’s with the new :let, :for and :if? I read about them many weeks ago in the changelog, but no reason was given as to the change. What I’ve inferred is that they denote “global” attributes, or I guess could be “special” attributes made available by the framework on (any?) component. Is this true? Now that I’m writing it out it feels like it’s probably true (or partially true), but I’m just looking for some confirmation.

You just need to watch the GitHub repo(s) to read all the PRs and issues, read all the posts on here, read all the newsletters and blog posts, and monitor Slack and Discord.

haha 
To be be extra clear, (and this isn’t really responding to you, @cmo), I’m not criticizing anyone on the team of people who makes this 100% free software I use all the time and have made a bunch of money off of, it’s just been a thing I’ve noticed for a while now and was thinking on how it could be improved.
Part of my confusion is the LiveView vs Phoenix releases and how heex crosses the boundary and I forget what changelog I’m reading and don’t think to check the updated docs. I do realize that we are in a bit of a limbo state where the new LiveView is out but the new Phoenix isn’t.
Anyway, that’s my little ramble!
