My understanding is that a data structure cannot be an array for random access and a linked list for sequential access at the same time. There must be two different data structures for dedicated purposes. But the following result shows that Julia Array behaves both as an array and a linked list: A…

Note that in Julia terminology, you are talking about Vector, which is Array{T,1} (some languages without multidimensional arrays do call vectors arrays, but not Julia). Julia allows Vectors to be extended, and clever overallocation heuristics make it fast.
