Lua and globals query Lightroom Classic

[ThorQue]

Hello,

I am wondering how Lightroom handles globals. Does every plugin has its own LUA ebvironment, so the globals of a plugin are only visible for the plugin decalring them? Or are they shared across the  running Lightroom instance?

Thanks for your answer in advance

Each plugin gets its own global environment, which gets created the first time the plugin runs and persists until LR exits or you reload the plugin.  The persistence is handy for things like caches.

I am going to check with our Engineers for an answer to your question. 

Edit: John has pretty much answered your query but I'll still update if there is any addition from our Engineers.
