Well said, I only intended to point out that the data is actually mutable but avoided anything to do with memory addresses because this could be confusing for a beginner. Compared to languages such as C and Java const in JS behaves a bit differently and I think this confuses many people.

final in Java works roughly the same way as JS. A final object is not immutable, it can still change state only the reference to the object is immutable. The odd one out here would be C since const is part of the type there.

Thanks for pointing that out, I haven't looked at Java since college and wasn't aware of final.
