It does have efficient maps (purescript-maps) and listss (purescript-lists). Couldn't find any package which provides a Vector type that is not optimised specifically for math operations which always operate on the whole vector (multiply, add, dot product etc).

Ah. Right. My impression was that most PureScript code just uses plain JS objects / arrays, though. Is that not correct? If the ecosystem isn't built around the efficient immutable data types, much of the advantage disappears.
