For exporting/importing/defining constants, it would be nice to have a designated keyword const. Variables declared as const are not mutable (not even in the current scope) and are exported. They should be constants, i.e., they have to be a static literal (so no if-else or function call).

Condition of Satisfaction

  • const keyword exists and can be parsed
  • typechecker asserts immutability
  • constants get exported
  • non-primitive/-static values are rejected (we could actually achieve that in the grammar)
