JavaScript’s `const` has the bigger issue that while things can’t be reassigned, they can still mutate. For example: const myArray = [1,2,3] myArray.push(4

In what way is that an issue?
- maleldil 1y ago
  Because this isn't immutability. The goal is to have a way to define an object that will never change after initialisation, and JS's const isn't it.

    Clearly that isn't the goal.

      By "the goal", I mean TFA's, not JS's.
