      oh well, I’m just starting to learn the language and come from java, so I thought: wait, it can’t be static

        const is more like C++ constexpr, but static is similar to static from C: it’s a variable that lives outside any scope. Of course, that means the same static can be accessed by multiple threads, so writing to a static is unsafe (except for types like Mutex, you can safely use those to write, but your static won’t be declared mut)
