Finger Trees Explained Anew, and Slightly Simplified (Functional Pearl)
Zoom
Abstract
We explicitly motivate the subtle intricacies of Hinze and Paterson's Finger Tree datastructure, by step-wise refining a naive implementation. The result is a new explanation of how Finger Trees work and why they have the particular structure they have, and also a small simplification of the original implementation.
