I don't know that much about Lisp, but I don't understand this obsession with cons cells and (linked) lists. A cons cell is nothing more than a 2-tuple, which is equivalent to a 2-element array (and Janet has arrays!).
From a programmer's perspective the difference between an array and a list is also, I would say, very minor. So why is using linked lists instead of arrays a critical part of a Lisp?
