Yes, but if your struct contains references, the constness doesn't apply to what those references point to. In Rust it does.

For pointers, const only affects whether you can re-set it to point to something else, not the pointee.
Nothing prevents you from building a smart pointer with those semantics though, std::indirect is an example of this (arguably closer to Rust's Box).
