> I updated Lists.jl awhile ago to make this: (it was a PR to fix, update, and “conciseify” but it wasn’t looked at for months so it became a fork, but it all worked so I just registered it). Don’t assume that. [[Bjarne Stroustrup: Why you should avoid Linked Lists] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQs6IC-vgmo)

If you’re using this for production code that has performance requirements, maybe also consider not using linked list. Pointer chasing is slow
