It doesn't have to be a mental burden.. Just write all your variables as mutable then let the ide automatically correct them to immutable. Ex: "Warning: This variable is never mutated. Would like to make it a const? <Fix>"

Let's say it is a mental burden. I'd rather have the burden when writing the code over when reading the code. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31823991)
