Forgive me if I'm wrong, but global vars / dynamic variables have essentially more to do with scoping than multithreading, e.g. they existed in lisps and other languages way before thread support was added to them. So I don't understand why you are rejecting the idea of adding support for them based on the argument that Javascript is monothread ... > You're working on a particular solution - others already exist in the JS > world as you've mentioned.
