It's not really a language limitation. For instance, you can implement list=
s the
exact same way as they can be implemented in C. It's more that a memory saf=

list implementation is quite tricky in general.

Lists clearly do have their place. In this specific case, it probably doesn=
't
matter too much, but in general I'd abstain from not using a list (where it=
 is
the best fit) just because they are tricky in getting them implemented in a
memory safe way.
