    const MAX: u32 = 100;  // Compile-time constant
    let x: u32 = 10;       // Cannot be changed

If x cannot be changed, how does it differ (meaningfully) from a compile time constant in a safe language, ie in a case of no raw pointers

const can be used in places that need a compile-time-known value (like a fixed array size). let can't, even if it obviously holds a fixed number.

		isn't there a way to infer that from context? like if the variable is declared with the Comptime role. Some guy said that the const keyword was a mistake C made that is then blindly followed by its successors.
