  "textContent": "jaror:\n\n> 8x speed up\n\nThat’s an incredibly specific (and short) case, for an apples-to-apples comparison you need to remove unnecessary laziness from the original. Also I have no idea why data is stored in cons-lists.\n\njaror:\n\n> I think it should be possible to write a more efficient package\n\nAnd I think there shouldn’t be just one package, there should be a solid default choice that balances power and efficiency, and a bunch of faster libraries that sacrifice power. (pretty much what we already have, except `binary` could do way more)",
