Take care with broad sweeping statements about "every other language",

there is a stunning variety of different approaches and concepts in
programming languages, with very little common to even a majority of

Yea, verily. How many languages do you think that is? Feel free to
count C and C++ as different ones.
Well, I wouldn't dare to say I know a lot of languages but the ones I
do provide mechanisms to define structures / records: C, C++, Scheme,
Common Lisp, Haskell, SML, Ocaml.
I don't know even half of those. What about Perl? Does anyone know
that?
structs in Perl are generally implemented as hashes, which is similar to
a Python dict.
