From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
listless In {functional programming}, a property of a {function} which allows it to be combined with other functions in a way that eliminates intermediate data structures, especially lists. {Phil Wadler}'s thesis gives the conditions for a function to be in listless form: each input list is traversed only once, one element at a time, from left to right. Each output list is generated once, one element at a time, from left to right. No other lists are generated or traversed. Not all functions can be expressed in listless form (e.g. reverse).

Look Ahead Left-to-right parse, Rightmost-derivation (LALR, Look ahead LR) A type of {LR parser} that can deal with more {context-free grammars} than {SLR parsers} but less than {LR[1]} parsers. LALR parsers are popular because they give a good trade-off between the number of grammars they can deal with and the size of the parsing table required. Compiler compilers like {yacc} and {Bison} generate LALR parsers. {Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/LALR_parser)}. (2003-05-13)
