On: Global variables are not the problem

[bandrami]

I think we're talking past each other here. The issue is that the enclosed state of counter is exposed globally and can be accessed without synchronization. I suppose yes one could also reassign counter to a different function (and you'd need to be aware of that) but my point is that you still need some kind of sync if you're calling counter all over the place, just like you would with a global variable

Maybe throw up a code example? I don't follow what you're getting at.
