2/ A variable is mutable only if you use mut. Ex:
let mut x = 5;

3/ Instead of allowing mutability,
a variable can be 'shadowed'.
It means we redefine a new variable
on the same namespace. Ex:
let shadow = 7
let shadow = shadow + 3

4/ shadowing even allows to
change the type of the variable!

is now: {secret}
