I thought this was super common knowledge, yet I reviewed a co-workers pull request the other day and found files filled with eval (easily 30 usages) as well as global state (treated and mutated as if it was thread local).

The most annoying part was that what they wanted to do didn’t even require eval and they refused to fix it even after I’d found a safe, non-eval way to do it.
