+<p>
+ As well as let assignments Gleam also has constants, which are defined at the
+ top level of a module.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Constants must be literal values, functions cannot be used in their
+ definitions.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Constants may be useful for values that are used throughout your program,
+ permitting them to be named and to ensure there are no differences in the
+ definition between each use.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Using a constant may be more efficient than creating the same value in
+ multiple functions, though the exact performance characteristics will depend
+ on the runtime and whether compiling to Erlang or JavaScript.
