I seriously doubt that many newbies need Javascript features that
appeared only in 1.7 - such as let blocks with advanced scoping rules -
or really understand them. Javascript is rather complicated (and
powerful) language - definitely more complicated than PHP, IMHO.

I don't even think that "experts" will use it, since it will take ages
before Microsoft has updated IE to work with 1.7. I guess it will not
be implemented before IE8, and since the migration to IE7 goes already
very slow, it won't be earlier than 2009 before the biggest part of
the people uses an JS 1.7 compliant browser (IE8/FF2/...)
