I'm sorry but are you really going to pretend like car and cdr are not core to lisp? >list[0] and list[-1] That is not car and cdr; closer would be list[0] and list[1:] if lists were cons in python. >Mathematica expressions are in many respects like LISP lists. In Mathematica, however, expressions are the lowest-level objects accessible to the user. LISP allows you to go below lists, and access the binary trees from which they are built This is a quote from 1986. I wonder if the language has changed much since then https://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/Expressions.html#14609 https://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/Expressions....
