Thanks for the heads up. It used to be a `thread_local!`, but switching to a `static mut` resulted in smaller code size. I just forgot to update the code snippet in the article.
which IIRC requires unsafe access as it's not thread-safe
Yes, and also has no guarantees against mutably aliasing and re-entry.
Note that wasm currently has no shared memory threading (just message passing via FFI through JS and workers), so thread-safety isn't an issue to be wary of here, just re-entry.
