But again that's not a justification. There's no reason for there to be two functions here, other than that it's easier for the implementers. I'm being serious

But again that's not a justification. There's no reason for there to be two functions here, other than that it's easier for the implementers. I'm being serious when I say I don't think I've ever seen another standard library that prioritizes ease of maintenance over ease of consumption. Quite possible that I'm missing something! Maybe Common Lisp or another language nobody uses?
- yawaramin 4y agoWell, you're extrapolating from one example where the standard library doesn't behave as you want, and characterizing the entire library as 'lazy'. I don't agree with that characterization, and as I already said, the justification has been given. You just don't agree with it, that's fine. It's still a valid justification.
