I had a quick look at whether there were functions with "obvious" performance improvements, and came across
rightOfBack(theList.reverse+List.headcalled out to me).I tried several approaches (that you can go through in this benchmark). The final benchmark gives the following:
leftOfBackhad a very similar algorithm, so I updated it as well to use the same improvements, with the following results (benchmark)Less impressive, but still a nice improvement.
There were no tests for these 2 functions, so I added basic ones, based on the examples.
