Does it make sense to use + for list concatenation?
@socks I feel like the behaviour we would intuitively expect would be that {1,2,3}+{4,5,6} yields {5,7,9}

@Felthry Ah, so the same operation but lifted! I guess that would make sense
@socks we're also very used to matlab though, it might be less intuitive for others
matlab is heavily matrix-oriented so operations generally behave as they would on matrices; that's just how matrix addition and subtraction work. * is matrix multiplication, and / is actually a complicated operator that computes the inverse of the matrix on the right and left-multiplies it by the matrix on the left (there's also \ for inverting the matrix on the left instead)

@Felthry Yes, that makes sense when a list to you is a vector. Lists are a lot more general than that though
@socks when doing high level programming we're doing scripts in matlab to do calculations, so think in vectors and matrices, and when doing low level programming we think in arrays and pointers
