Indeed, to each their own. I'm sure there is a place for locals if there are vital functions andsoforth that you wish to keep safe. I like being able to hijack though. In fact, I believe that as we're all learning more about Lua (well, most people know more than me ... so perhaps it's just that I have a lot to learn), it occurs to me that this might be one of the next steps in the evolution of dynamic code. In fact, we could avoid a lot of the problems created by resource usage by re-using things, I'm already getting into reusing variables as much as possible, thusly making my variables generic so that the GC has less to deal with. On that line of thinking though, it occurs to me that one day we might be doing that with functions too, swapping functions in and out of a couple of active generic functions. It's an idea that I'm curious about, to be sure.
