Actually, it's not that bad.
Sometimes I design an algorithm in terms of basic data structures, such
as lists, and transformations applied through higher order iterators.
Such "featurs" as the stack overflow in List.map or the Linux
out-of-memory SIGKILL give me a clear indication of the simplemindedness
of such algorithms and force me to rethink them in terms of more
efficient structures and techniques, typically streams and laziness.
