Agreed, using `var` keyword for something that is non-var-ying (aka immutable) is not very intuitive.
Mutability is distinct from variability. In Javascript only because it's a pretty widely known syntax:
const f = (x) => { const y = x + 1; return y + 1; }
I've only glanced at this Zen-C thing but I presume it's the same story.

y is an immutable variable. In f(3), y is 4, and in f(7), y is 8.I've only glanced at this Zen-C thing but I presume it's the same story.
