3 people now saying the same thing. const is not required to be interpreted at compile time, these are choices made by language designers. and read the code with ‘let’ in it like it’s english, does let actually describe constnenss using its english definition? no. i’d argue that any language using ‘let’ for const values is borderline too theoretical. hell, even “define” is better than “let”
