How to store state?

[vwkd]

Currently we use global variables to store state in a library crate. Is there a better way?

The Golem Cloud apparently uses a single thread¹ but if we use tests we have to worry about multiple threads.

We currently use an immutable global variable with a Mutex while the Golem Cloud documentation uses a mutable global variable with unsafe.
