15:16:04stassatsis your only measure the size of text?
15:16:35flip214stassats: no, readability too. and nested loops aren't among my favourites.
15:16:48flip214yeah, with row-major-aref I only have one loop now...
15:17:19flip214still, the (MAPCAR #'constructor (iota total-size)) was nicer (but still wrong)
15:17:43stassatsso, you just don't care about time complexity, space complexity and garbage collector pressure?
15:20:14flip214stassats: is that about the displaced-array? if so, is performance really that bad? creating an additional list and an additional array-descriptor which can immediately be GCed?
