  const came first.

    Nobody in the C world really cares about const, it's extremely rare to see it in the wild. The // comments, though, are ubiquitous.

      Yet another proof why C software is so safe, when comments are more important than correctness.
      • astrodust 10y ago
        The const keyword has nothing to do with correctness and everything to do with helping the compiler understand which values are immutable and can be optimized.
