In trying to convince others that *global mutable state* is a bad idea, I realize I don't have any hard evidence - just abstract reasons. At the very least, I'd like an illustrative code example I could point to. Any suggestions?

Dynamicland would arguably refute this. The entire programming model is having one giant blob of global mutable state, the Realtalk database, and programs are small functional modifications to the db with built in semantics to manage conflicts.

@rsnous is that a correct interpretation? -
Omar and I actually debate this very point when I interviewed him on the podcast. Part of the reason it works at Dynamicland is that the code is supposed to be really small. Just a couple pages on a table
