Subject: Constant in Ruby.

I'm new to Ruby programming and I saw this article which concerns me:

http://www.bitwisemag.com/copy/features/opinion/ruby/ruby_debate.html

Don't get me wrong, I love Ruby. But, the idea that a constant is not a 
constant is worrying isn't it? Or have I missed something? Please 
comment.

X = 10
Y = "hello world"
Z = "hello world"

X = 20
Y = "byebye" << "abc"
myvar = Z << "xyz"

puts(X)
20
puts(Y)
byebyeabc
puts(Z)
hello worldxyz
myvar
"hello worldxyz"
