Module

Data.List.Lazy

Package
purescript-lists
Repository
purescript/purescript-lists

This module defines a type of lazy linked lists, and associated helper functions and type class instances.

Note: Depending on your use-case, you may prefer to use Data.Sequence instead, which might give better performance for certain use cases. This module is an improvement over Data.Array when working with immutable lists of data in a purely-functional setting, but does not have good random-access performance.
