💖 GOLF(2gg) — the development manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, listen up, this is the GOLF(2gg) page from the Development section and it's literally all about making a linked list. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

new-list — the linked-list one 💅 (it says (linked-list) right there in the parens, iykyk)

---

✨ PURPOSE ✨

Create a linked list. that's it. that's the whole job. slay 🦋

---

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

new-list <list> [ process-scope ]

see how <list> is the main character and [ process-scope ] is the optional little accessory? periodt. 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So new-list initializes a brand-new linked <list>, and the way it works is every single element is connected to the previous one and the next one. it's giving chain. it's giving friendship bracelet. 🔗

In a linked <list>, data can be added anywhere in the list, and also accessed anywhere as well. Access to a list is sequential, which means you can position to the first, last, next or previous element. no random-access jumping, bestie, we go in order. Also — important — a list is accessible to the current process only. 🙈

Generally information is stored in a linked list, and then retrieved (possibly many times, like, a lot) in any order later. it's a whole vibe. 🌈

A list has a current position where an element can be read, updated, inserted or deleted (that happens via read-list, write-list and delete-list), and this position can be explicitly changed with position-list. so like, you're always standing somewhere on the list and you can move. main character energy fr fr. ⭐

🔍 SCOPE 🔍

A linked list is accessible to the current process only — unless you use the "process-scope" clause, in which case all requests served by the process can use it (peep do-once for a typical way to create an object with a process scope, that's the classic move). 💜

If "process-scope" is used, then elements of the list will keep their value between requests in the same process. so it persists, bestie, it remembers. 😭✨

See write-list for an example of a process-scoped list — go look, it's worth it. 🫶
