- What should we call them? Local state? Local accumulators?
Calling them local accumulators makes the concept a lot easier to understand imho.
It fits the reason for proposing this feature in the first place (to locally accumulate some values).
The moment state or mutability is mentioned it gets confusing. Since you can also keep track of state in Elixir via processes. And as you mentioned the compiled code is still immutable.
