When to use list, and when to use Seq.t?

Are there some downsides of Seq that I should know about, @dbuenzli?

The downside is that most programmers eventually end up using it wrongly (e.g. lazy IO) or when it’s not necessary and thus creating an unordinate amount of garbage for the GC to collect (as mentioned in the discussion you linked to).
