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
