#python #sicp
a common pattern of computation with linked lists,
where each step in an iteration operates on an increasingly shorter suffix of
the original list. This incremental processing to find the length and elements
of a linked list does take some time to compute. Python's built-in sequence
types are implemented in a different way that does not have a large cost for
computing the length of a sequence or retrieving its elements.
