Expand Up @@ -78,7 +78,3 @@ Almost always, if you can choose between the two, choose `const`. It’s pretty
rare that you actually want a memory location associated with your constant,
and using a const allows for optimizations like constant propagation not only
in your crate but downstream crates.

A const can be thought of as a `#define` in C: it has metadata overhead but it
has no runtime overhead. “Should I use a #define or a static in C,” is largely
the same question as whether you should use a const or a static in Rust.
