C uses "->" for dereferencing a pointer to the member of a struct.
What "->" is for C, "." is Python and Java.
Python doesn't have C's ".".
C has both stacked-allocated and heap-allocated records. That's not the
case with Python or Java.
Delphi, which is basically an extended Pascal, allows you to omit the
"^" when dereferencing a pointer to a field in a record, so you can
write "p.m" instead of "p^.m" when "p" is a pointer to a record.
