I'm rather confused about your question. If you want a Haskell data

structure that supports O(1) head, tail, init and last why not indeed use
|
||||
Data.Sequence as has been suggested? As for how it's implemented, it uses
|

the (very cool) fingertree datastructure. See here for more details:

Finger trees give you O(log n) appends and random access, O(1) cons/uncons/snoc/unsnoc etc. but _cost you_ infinite lists.

Skew binary random access lists give you O(log n) drop and random access and O(1) cons/uncons, but lose the infinite lists, etc.

Tarjan and Mihaescu's deque may get you back worst-case bounds on more of the, but we still lose O(log n) random access and infinite lists.
