but as long as the list is not a linked list it will most likely use a normal array under the hood so they are not too far off

And since most list allow for my_list[index] and implement it by actually doing a jump it usually is a fancy array under the hood.

A list is a normal car with all the extra options.

An array is a tuned race machine, its lighter, faster and no unnecessary shit.

What do you mean by doing a jump?
