APL2 does, in a more general way: matrix of matrixes. "J" language also
does.
APL2 is not free. "J" is free/shareware at the moment, I think. Not sure.

OK, so I'll try again (I already posted this but Topica seems
to have screwed the message, like several others I tried to post
over the last few days).
So on to the question: The Icon language has sequences identical
to Euphoria. They are called Lists and can contain numbers, strings
and other nested Lists. Instead of curly brackets they use square
brackets, but apart from that it is completely identical. Even the
way that positions in a List can be subscripted is similar to Eu.
Take a look here for information on Icon features:

You can scroll down to paragraph 4.1 for the description of Lists.

Python with the "List" type.

I believe Lua also has sequences very much like Eu's,
except that in Lua, a sequence (Lua calls it a
'table') can contain functions as well as values, and
table entities
need not be referenced by number:
t = {1, 2, pie=3.1415,'Foo',bar(z), name='Sue', age=23
}
print(t.1) => 1
print(t.name) => Sue
