I use `const` by default as well, but I don't think saving two
characters is worth giving up readability. Newcomers might even think
that "ungrammatical" abbreviations such as `cst` could stand for `cast`,
`constructor` or similar terms related to programming.
In terms of hindsight, it could have been great if `let` could have been
our `const`, and something like `let mut` or `let mutable` or even `mut`
or `mutable` could have been our `let`. Defaulting to values being
constant and making them mutable explicitly would be an approach that,
for instance, Rust followed.
Anyway, we're stuck with it now, and if typing `const` takes too much
time, consider creating a keyboard macro that types in `const` for you. ;)

I also thought cst would have been good. My petty issue is that when
declaring variables all of my constants have a different indentation.
I define all of my arrow functions with const so I use it fairly often.

After a year of using `const`, I got used to it, but even with
that I often feel losing time using it, with those 2 additional
chars. It's really unfortunate because it's by far the most
frequently used for variables assignments.
It's also really close to *cons*ole(.log,...), annoying with
auto-completers
Thing are probably frozen at this time, but `cst`, `ref`, `val`
would have been interesting
