[A Tool For Writing LSL Scripts In Another Programming Language]

i looked it up, because I am nosey

from the Fortran examples I found, seems a sparse array is a n-dimensional matrix with memory only taken up by used elements

LSL equivalent is as you say lists within lists. Like:

list a =
[
  0,
  [1,[3,[7,8],4,[9,a]]],
  [2,[5,[b,c],6,[d,e]]]        
];

i thought it was more like a tree because 'list a' is a binary tree. But I can see now that a tree is only a subset view of a n-dimensional sparse matrix

i did read also that Fortran has quite a lot of helper functions/methods to quickly address/traverse the sparse array

a answer on stackoverflow, was the most helpful in my understanding of this

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62255387/sparse-array-in-fortran

Fortran sparse arrays are pretty cool. And I can see how extremely useful they are to engineers and scientists who have heaps of variable data to model

Wow, that gave me a flashback to the "good old days" of Lisp...and not really a good one.
