ES6 const

1 points by caub 9y ago ↗ HN

I'd want ECMAScript's `const` shortened to something like `ref`, `val`, `cst`

- it's the most frequently used keyword

- it's not really a constant but more a 'shallow' constant

- it conflicts with console.log auto-completion

... Neat. There would be any number of ways to implement this using existing tools. `cst` would certainly be a horrible choice. But a trivial IDE/editor/text expander fix anyway.

2) You may be confusing immutability vs. binding

3) Trivial editor fix
