It looks like you copypasted something like the implementation for
intersperse
fromData.List.NonEmpty
, which isn't a very good implementation for something likevector
ornonempty-vector
for several reasons:This function is not
O(n)
:cons
forVector
isO(n)
, and vector consing forn-1
-many elements is actuallyO(n^2)
. This makes the implementation rather unsatisfactory, and in fact, worse than the just converting to and from a list for very large vectors.There is an issue out to resolve the suboptimal vector
cons
-based implementation (posted here: Addingintersperse
to the API haskell/vector#421), which discusses the potential streams-based implementation that I would welcome in this package when the time comes for that work to be done invector
. Otherwise, we'd be importing a very suboptimal implementation into this package, breaking fromvector
's API. Presumably such a streams-based implementation could amortize away some of the array resizing needed under the hood so we don't have to take the quadratic hit so hard.I think there's benefit in matching the
vector
API, since it makes this package a near drop-in replacement forvector
, minus some fiddling and pattern matching to enforce the nonempty invariants in one's code. We'd be deviating from that until point 2 is implemented.So i have to reject this on those grounds.

At least, in its current incarnation. If you want to help the
vector
package move the work along forintersperse
, I'm happy to keep this open and accept it with a deference to thevector
implementation!
