+<p>
+ Lists are ordered collections of values.
+</p>
+<p>
+ <code>List</code> is a generic type, having a type parameter
+ for the type of values it contains. A list of ints has the type
+ <code>List(Int)</code>, and a list of strings has the type
+ <code>List(String)</code>.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Lists are immutable single-linked lists, meaning they are very efficient to
+ add and remove elements from the front of the list.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Counting the length of a list or getting elements from other positions in the
+ list is expensive and rarely done. It is rare to write algorithms that index
+ into sequences in Gleam, but when they are written a list is not the right
+ choice of data structure.
