Oh, another one that applies to all functional languages: why the obsession with singly linked lists? Ok I do actually understand why, but they're objectively the worst data structure yet they're made 1st clas - maybe 0th class! - language features. Kind of mad.

I guess at least OCaml has normal vectors too, but still it always felt like a theoretical compsci feature that was almost willfully rejecting actual computer architecture.
