I second that! This <const> format is just plain ugly to me! Then again,
beauty is in the eyes of the ... Lua team! :)

Lua 5.4.0 (alpha-rc1) is now available for testing
This is an alpha version. Some details may change in the final version.
I want to say first I like the feature list, mostly. I'm a little confused
about the need/usecase for warn() over print or protected calls etc.
Secondly - I'm a big fan of how smooth and beautiful Lua's syntax is and I
think the `local <const> lang = 'Lua'` syntax is not very aesthetic or
smooth. I like the idea we'll be getting constants, but I hope the syntax
can be looked at a bit more. If <const> is only an attribute on local
variables, would it be better to just add a new const keyword. JS has let
and const that would be similar to local and const in Lua. I'm sure adding
keywords can be a slippery slope though.
Just my input in some minimal testing. Appreciate all the effort that went
in and congrats on moving to an RC
