Hi team, as a recreational user of p5.js for small projects but recently getting into Algorithms and Data Structures, I noticed the lack of availability of efficient data structures/algorithms when trying to optimize.

When making small projects, this doesn’t really matter, but when trying to scale a project and having to think about smooth FPS on browsers, people could benefit from using built in efficient data structures and algorithms, some along the lines of:

- Stack
- Queue
- Map
- Priority Queue
- Set
- Binary Search, Lower Bound, Upper Bound
- …

What do you guys think? Is this something worth enough optimization for large projects to work upon as a library?
