let was added from ECMAScript 2015 (ES6). But, unfortunately, Google Apps Script doesn't support ES6 yet. So when let is used in the script editor, in the current stage, the error occurs.

A lot of users want for ES6 to be added to Google Apps Script, It's on the feature requests, however, no progress seems to have been made.

If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.

Finally, the V8 Runtime has already been added to Google Apps Script. By this, let can be used in Google Apps Script.

Please check the official document.
