I'll bet.  Dynamic scoping is bad, but worse, or at least as bad, is that 
PAL variables are also dynamically typed.

I got curious how you were approaching this, so I started digging.  It looks 
like you are handling globally scoped variables in $GLOBALS.  I'm not 
familiar with PHP variable scopes  (and I'm kinda rusty on PAL scopes the 
more I think about it).

As I recall, you launch the app via the command line, which starts listening 
on port <whatever>.  Then you connect on port <whatever> from a browser, and 
start running the app.

So what happens when a second browser hits port <whatever>?  Are $GLOBALS in 
scope across both?

This is more a PHP variable scope question, as it relates to your 
application lifecycle.
