Only helps with const. Better use linting to avoid such issues.

> Only helps with const.

Can you elaborate?

If the `x` in the example was a const, it would throw an error because the code attempts to assign the value of `y` to `x`. You cannot assign a new value to a const.

What I'm saying is that you wouldn't accidentally type `let x = y` when you meant to type `x == y`
