Just `mut` alongside `let mut`
Rust Internals [Unofficial]
March 15, 2026
Hi,
I suggest/recommend support for just the mut keyword for mutable variables alongside existing let mut
If we cannot accommodate mut, can we think of a new 3-character keyword that rhymes with let - from soundex or other criteria?
Some suggestions ...
tel - the reverse of let
cut
set - highly recommended for clarity - (clean, clear, crisp) !
