Is an array in other langauges like a list in BYOND?

Yep.

They're similar, but BYOND lists have lots of features that you'd love to have in arrays in other languages. For example, they're dynamic (They get bigger and smaller as you add and remove things from them).

Yes, I know. But that wipes the contents of the array, and BYOND does it automatically.

Visual Basic arrays are pure evil. BYOND's lists put them to shame.

BYOND's lists put a lot of other kinds of lists/arrays to shame too. BYOND probably has the some of the best built-in list support around.
