feat: remove illogical sentence #56

Closed mazharz closed 10 months ago

mazharz commented 1 year ago

The type signature of length returns an Int for a good reason and that is to ensure that any code using that function can rely on the result being an integral number. Logically speaking, lists can't contain a fractional number of elements, so this is probably not for historical reasons nor is it stupid. I think removing this sentence altogether would make more sense.
