There's no shadowing in the latter case. The second case is the same thing as
By definition you must have nested scopes to have shadowing. Within the same scope, it's only ever assignment.

Well, in Rust you could do:
let a = 2;
let a = 3;
Indeed, because semantically there is a syntactically implicit scope for every let binding. For example, in that case, the outer a is dropped after the inner a, just as if the second a had been inside of a block. There may be multiple syntactic ways to introduce a new scope.
