Moreover, the submitted article itself makes it clear that when it says "LISP’s only data-structuring mechanism is something called a cons, which consists of two pointers" it is talking about Lisp 1.0. It also acknowledges that LISP is called Lisp now, too,
It seems your comment implies that Lisp bases everything on linked lists. That is a misconception. As early as Lisp 1.5 (1962), arrays were available (see section 4.4 of [1]).
