Why "let"?

[mikecann]

Im wondering why you use "let" all over the ts codebase when const is generally preferred?

I really doesn't matter much. I plan to eventually come back through and update these while I implement #2, The short answer is that it comes down to code style

[mikecann]

Well const allows for literal types in TS and obviously prevents accidental mutability.

Yep! No argument here. Just didn't need or want either while developing this. For me I generally come back through and "lock in" please declaration hints once everything isn't really in transit anymore (since let-vs-const is really about knowledge share & long-term maintenance and let->const can be automated)
