A few weeks ago, I went on Udemy course on Swift, the instructor mentioned that constants are called let in Swift because it's standard in OOP (JavaScript uses it for example).

I know this may seem like a really stupid question, but I think it is confusing that constants are declared by let. As, let doesn't stand for constant.

Where did the let keyword come from?
