listless

   <programming> In {functional programming}, a property of a
   {function} which allows it to be combined with other functions
   in a way that eliminates intermediate data structures,
   especially lists.

   {Phil Wadler}'s thesis gives the conditions for a function to
   be in listless form: each input list is traversed only once,
   one element at a time, from left to right.  Each output list
   is generated once, one element at a time, from left to right.
   No other lists are generated or traversed.

   Not all functions can be expressed in listless form
   (e.g. reverse).
