(Const VS Var) keywords

You still havent provide valid reasoning behind this…

This is a very well known recommendation.

Who, apart from you, recommends it?

Damn near everyone. If you have done professional work in Javascript, you should be aware of this general recommendation.

The scope symantics are clearer and there is less surprising behavior with let and const. var is just for legacy code.

It’s such a common rule that you can lint for it

let and const are a replacement for var. The way var works can’t be changed. var may well be a better name, but that name is already taken. So common names for variables used by other languages were adopted.
