I'm pretty sure he understands the difference... he's just saying that if it doesn't make the object immutable then it is not that useful.

(I disagree with him. I think minimal variables reassigning makes code easier to understand and 'const' helps to encourage that)

But he thinks that is not intuitive. It is intuitive as f**k is all I'm saying. It sounds ridiculous when you make something that fundamental as a base for your rant.

Well const does not make objects immutable, only primitive values. It's that easy ^^

more accurately, only the reference is immutable. Nothing special happens that changes how const works with primitives vs objects.
