Why do you think this?

"const" seems clearer to me. "con" seems very open to misinterpretation: could mean many things.

Are there any advantages to "con" over "const"?

My guess is the OP dislikes the difference in keyword length.

  • I just always use let because it looks better. Const provides pretty much no value in js anyway.

    • It is useful for code readability. When you’re skimming and trying to understand a large chunk of code, if almost all the variables are declared with “const” and then you come across a “let”, you immediately know to look for where it will be mutated elsewhere.
