Linked lists considered harmful

  ↓    A perfect illustration of why single linked lists are simply the wrong data structure in
        99% of cases. Just use arrays and you won't have to choose between tail recursion, and
        front-to-back iteration order.

Pointless fanboy arguing.

Linked lists have plenty of usage, and arrays do actually complicate some matters. Arrays are faster to traverse, and require less memory, but they're
1) not nearly as easy to extend
2) usage can be less comfortable (pushing/poping to/from and others)
