Containers library

One question for you /prog/!

Suppose you have a brand new language, which doesn't have any library yet. Which kind of basic containers / data structure would you expect?

Which explains why Common Lisp is so schizophrenic - it's a whole bunch of divergent languages all thrown into one single Design By Committee process. The end result isn't that bad, but it's about as coherent as C++, which is hardly a compliment.

Worst of all, the market for Lisp started dying afterwards so Common Lisp has remained largely static since, and the entire Lisp family has struggled to get out of the CL shadow.
