Constants

Constants are variables whose values cannot be changed after they are first initialized. In dryLang, there are two ways to define constants.

1. Using the cns Keyword

You can explicitly declare a constant by prefixing it with the cns keyword.

cns MAX_USERS = 100
cns API_URL = "https://api.example.com"

2. Auto-Constants (Full Uppercase)

As part of the Write Less Get More philosophy, dryLang provides Auto-Constants. Any variable declared with fully uppercase letters is automatically locked as a constant. You don't even need to use cns.

API_URL = "https://api.example.com"

// The following line will throw: cannot assign to cns
// API_URL = "http://localhost" 

Note: You can also use cns UPPERCASE = ... to be explicit, but it's redundant. Full uppercase names are strictly constants no matter what!
