How is the best way to count the occurrences of values in a list? I have a list with 6000+ random generated numbers and I need to count how many times each of one appear.

I'd try something like:

  occurrences = [:]
  repeat with val in alist
    occurrences.setaprop(val, occurrences.getaprop(val) + 1)
  end repeat
