> Your argument against using const comes down to ...

You did an absolutely horrible job of summarizing even remotely what my argument was, so I guess "I won't even try to respond to" this, since you either can't critically read or didn't care to this time. jeez.

That's what you devote several paragraphs to. I'm not sure how else you explain quotes like "the likelihood is that a developer who needs to change a variable and gets a const-thrown error about it will probably just change the const to let and go on about their business."

I don't care to argue about 'let' because this is a post about 'const'. I was writing a rebuttal in the previous comment but realized it was way too off-topic. But your definition and reasoning for "implicit scope" hurts me to read.
