Answer 1

For me, to cut a long story short, I had inadvertently downgraded to angular-beta-16.

The let ... syntax is ONLY valid in 2.0.0-beta.17+

If you try the let syntax on anything below this version. You will generate this error.

Either upgrade to angular-beta-17 or use the #item in items syntax.
