Yes, ChucK has arrays

int foo[10];
4 => foo[1];
42 => foo[2];
foo[Math.rand2(0, 9)] => int sample;

or if you would prefer Java-style Lists

IntArrayList list;
list.size(10);
list.set(1, 4);
list.set(2, 42);
list.sample() => int sample;

or if you would prefer Lisp-style Lists, there is such library code
out there but I can't remember where it is or who wrote it, try
searching the chuck-users@ mailing list archives.
