Comment (by igt0): Hi I also like this article https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/es6-const (TL;DR const doesn't allow rebinding [it is not about immutability]). I agree with mcs about in the end the **technical** advantages are small, however for new contributors it reduces the cognitive load, because they know that variable will not change in that scope. E.g Every time I see a let in the beginning of the file, I assume that variable can change and it can be undefined or null! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26184#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
