While I am a huge lisp fan, oh...the irony of saying that python is struck in the 1990's when CONS, CAR and CDR are artifacts from the IBM 704 and Fortran :) While I do find it annoying that python used 'list' to mean 'dynamic array', it is a lot better than a ton of church encoding in the other common teaching language, Java. Linked lists may not be native in python but it is trivial to implement them.
