On “Disadvantages of purely functional programming”
Arrays with stream fusion can be quite handy for functional programming, so a reliance on those types is not necessary. Also, the way lists are often used in Haskell is as iterators. Haskell is able to optimize out the list allocations for that use case. By preferring Array data structures, many recursive data structures can be avoided.
