;;; list.el --- Functions for working with lists. -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; Commentary:
;; Since I prefer having the `list/' namespace, I wrote this module to wrap many
;; of the functions that are defined in the the global namespace in ELisp.  I
;; sometimes forget the names of these functions, so it's nice for them to be
;; organized like this.
;;
;; Motivation:
;; Here are some examples of function names that I cannot tolerate:
;; - `car': Return the first element (i.e. "head") of a linked list
;; - `cdr': Return the tail of a linked list

;; As are most APIs for standard libraries that I write, this is heavily
;; influenced by Elixir's standard library.
;;
;; Elixir's List library:
;; - ++/2
;; - --/2
;; - hd/1
;; - tl/1
;; - in/2
;; - length/1
;;
;; Similar libraries:
;; - dash.el: Functional library that mimmicks Clojure.  It is consumed herein.
;; - list-utils.el: Utility library that covers things that dash.el may not
;;   cover.
;;   stream.el: Elisp implementation of streams, "implemented as delayed
;;   evaluation of cons cells."

;; TODO: Consider naming this file linked-list.el.

;; TODO: Support module-like macro that auto-namespaces functions.

;; TODO: Consider wrapping most data structures like linked-lists,
;; associative-lists, etc in a `cl-defstruct', so that the dispatching by type
;; can be nominal instead of duck-typing.  I'm not sure if this is a good idea
;; or not.  If I do this, I should provide isomorphisms to map between idiomatic
;; ways of working with Elisp data structures and my wrapped variants.

;; TODO: Are function aliases/synonyms even a good idea?  Or do they just
;; bloat the API unnecessarily?
