Is there a limit to the number of items a list can hold?

Of course there is a limit, but I think it really depends on how much memory the person who is running it has.

Not sure if that helps.

From all the times I've used lists, there doesn't seem to be a visable limit, if one is there only someone who has made an incredibly huge list or Dantom would know.

Most things like atoms, objs and mobs and such have a limit of 65,535 of each, and I'm wondering if that limit applies to lists as well.

I think the 65535 limit for most things is done for bandwidth purposes: That is, it's easier to transmit 2 bytes than 4. But for lists, I would guess that internally the item counter is an ordinary 4-byte unsigned int. That would put the limit at just over 4 billion--or 2 billion if Dantom left it signed. I could, however, be wrong on this.

Hopefully Dantom will change everything to a 4-byte format anyway soon enough, and this will all be moot.
