The Lisp-based languages that people generally use have random access data structures - they just may have different names than you're expecting. Common Lisp has the general construct of an array, and a specialized version called a vector. In Scheme they are called vectors: r6rs.org/final/html/r6rs/r6rs-Z-H-... . Similarly, Clojure has vectors.
