Would be better at illustrating Rust's cultiness if it were instead "Rust is not FP, you can opt out of it, and const by default is just good practice".

    I mean should const not be the default? I do want to mutate objects sometimes but usually I just need a view of it's state and not write access. It also makes mutable data a lot more obvious if whoever wrote the code your reading wasn't putting const on stuff they should have been. Seems like something all languages with const semantics should have done
