+<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.
