[R] Merge list to list - as list

By the way here is another solution.  This one recursively descends
throught the list structure so that it that works regardless
of the nesting of your lists (provided x and y are compatible)
thus it can be used in answer to both the original post and
to this one:

cbind2 <- function(x, y) {
   if (is.list(x))
      mapply(cbind2, x, y, SIMPLIFY = FALSE)
   else
      cbind(x,y)
}

x <- list(list(matrix(1:20, 5, 4),matrix(1:20, 5, 4)),
         list(matrix(1:20, 5, 4),matrix(1:20, 5, 4)))
y <- list(list(c(1, -1, -1, 1, 1),c(1, 1, -1, -1, -1)),
         list(c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1),c(1, 1, -1, 1, -1)))
cbind2(x,y)
cbind2(x[[1]], y[[1]])
cbind2(x[[1]][[1]], y[[1]][[1]])
