JavaScript is not Lisp but it is more like Lisp than like C, even though syntactically it much resembles C.

ES6 JS has nice syntax for calculating with lists:

   let [car, ...cdr] = [1,2,3]
After the above 'car' has value 1 and 'cdr' has value [2,3].


in that case Python is also a Lisp because it has:

    car, *cdr = [1, 2, 3, 4]

hmm Rust as well:

    let [car, cdr @ ..] = [1,2,3];
