Summary: Question from novice -- does value language suffice?

Is it possible to solve serious programming applications
with LISP without using replacement operators?  To put it
another way, could a list be implemented in any other way
than as a chain of cons nodes?  This is a novice type question,
so please don't reply publicly.
