Normal list double works. But squares with infinite list does not.

Not sure if this is an issue with the docs or the runtime itself.

@tejasbubane The evaluation model of hamler is strict, so the infinite list cannot work.

@emqplus Pardon my ignorance of Erlang, but this project looks interesting so I wanted to ask out of curiosity: is it possible to implement lazy evaluation and do you have any plans to support it in some form in the future?
