It should have been "let"/"let mut", not "const"/"let" (or some other scheme that makes immutable bindings terser). I recall people warning of this outcome at the time of standardization.

I don't think it's a terminology problem. In fact, "let" and "const" are probably the right terms. Both are descriptive and exist in other programming languages.

`final` is a better term for real constants
