I wanted to have a function: function test() const global x = 1 end Obviously it does not work. Is there a workaround that would make it feasible to declare constant globals from function? I want to have some sort of ‘function’ that I would later save with JLD2 so I could reload the parameter…

In this case, you could just do: function test() @eval const x = 1 end

If your function has as input arguments those constants (declared as constants or any other way) they will be performant. What you have to avoid is having parameters inside your function which are global variables.
