Singly linked lists are something from CS1 where you learn about data structures. You rarely use them in practice. In most cases slices and maps do the job fine.

[dilyevsky]

They also have absolutely terrible performance due to poor cache locality and putting pressure on GC

There are many ways to implement a list, including backed by arrays.

That is what those CS algorithm and data structures lectures are for.

They make a great stack, though. Cheap to use and easy to implement.

Use a deque at least and amortize the heap allocations...

[puddingforears]

With generics I could justify the extra engineering work to make such a deque!

Ok genius, explain how exactly what the OP meant?
