[edit] Name convention breaking

Since the title of this page is an adjective rather than a noun, it violates Wikipedia: Naming conventions. Of course, this may be justified in this case, but if it is I think we should be explicit about it here before someone decides to proactively move it. Deco 21:13, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

The article actually spends most of its time discussing purely functional data structures. I vote we rename the page accordingly. Neilc 09:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree, if the unrelated material is moved out to somewhere suitable. Deco 23:20, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Red Black Tree

Okasaki doesn't give the routine for deletion of Red-Black Trees. Since this encyclopedia article is basically a selection from his book and you mention that one specifically I think we should do the deletion case. Anyone else agree?

[edit] lazyness

I think lazyness and data structures deserves more explanation. Its one of the areas where functional languages differ and thus efficiency computations give different results.
