Comment:
Putting this on the roadmap in the not-too-distant-future. I did not read
the articles, but I appreciate the comments. We should think about
documenting all of our coding standards (C/C++, Javascript, Java, Kotlin,
etc). We can look at tor's for a starting point, as well:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/HACKING/CodingStandards.md
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/HACKING/CodingStandardsRust.md
I am generally very supportive of maintaining readable code that is
explicit about which variable bindings may change within scope. Self-
documenting code is especially advantageous.
Mozilla are not explicit about when `const` vs. `let` should be used in
their documentation:
