Some functions on lists become easier to write when we have the discipline to structure every function on lists as a foldr. Examples: (insertion) sort, powerset, Cartesian product. Any other examples?

The most clear-eyed overview of Taiwan's current political crisis that I've seen in English. (Though ignore the subtitle that says it "has nothing to do with China." That is clearly not the case.)
