Variable bindings are immutable by default, but this can be overridden using the mut modifier.
fn main() {
let _immutable_binding = 1;
let mut mutable_binding = 1;
println!("Before mutation: {}", mutable_binding);
// Ok
mutable_binding += 1;
println!("After mutation: {}", mutable_binding);
// Error!
_immutable_binding += 1;
// FIXME ^ Comment out this line

The compiler will throw a detailed diagnostic about mutability errors.
Variable bindings have a scope, and are constrained to live in a block. A block is a collection of statements enclosed by braces {}.
fn main() {
// This binding lives in the main function
let long_lived_binding = 1;
// This is a block, and has a smaller scope than the main function
{
// This binding only exists in this block
let short_lived_binding = 2;
println!("inner short: {}", short_lived_binding);
}
// End of the block
// Error! `short_lived_binding` doesn't exist in this scope
println!("outer short: {}", short_lived_binding);
// FIXME ^ Comment out this line
println!("outer long: {}", long_lived_binding);
}

Also, variable shadowing is allowed.
fn main() {
let shadowed_binding = 1;
{
println!("before being shadowed: {}", shadowed_binding);
// This binding *shadows* the outer one
let shadowed_binding = "abc";
println!("shadowed in inner block: {}", shadowed_binding);

// This binding *shadows* the previous binding
let shadowed_binding = 2;

It's possible to declare variable bindings first, and initialize them later. However, this form is seldom used, as it may lead to the use of uninitialized variables.
fn main() {
// Declare a variable binding
let a_binding;
{
let x = 2;
// Initialize the binding
a_binding = x * x;
}
println!("a binding: {}", a_binding);
let another_binding;
// Error! Use of uninitialized binding
println!("another binding: {}", another_binding);
// FIXME ^ Comment out this line
another_binding = 1;
println!("another binding: {}", another_binding);
}
