> why not have every algorithm ensure it runs in its best structure, and convert where necessary (and possible) on the way in? Yes, there’s absolutely a performance or storage cost… but if the algorithm is that much faster, it should be worth it. Because it's not that much faster, so it's not worth it. You're severely underestimating the amount of thought that went into the article, or the work of the experts interviewed.
