I don't code much in C++, but I have to imagine the verbosity of its 'const' syntax is the real problem. Syntax aside, if a variable is not actually variable, it's arguably a lie to declare it as something other than constant. In languages with better 'const' syntax, it's not just a matter of performance, it's a legibility issue.
