gollark: JS has an array/map distinction at least...
gollark: Adding a new element:```lualocal x = {1, 2, 3}table.insert(x, 4) -- inserts 4 at the end-- x is now {1, 2, 3, 4}table.insert(x, 2, "a") -- inserts "a" at position 2-- x is now {1, "a", 2, 3, 4}```
gollark: Defining an array-ish table:```lualocal example_table_name = {1, 2, 3, "hi", {}, "mixed types too"}```Iteration:```lualocal x = {"a", "b", "c"}for index, value in ipairs(x) do print(index, value)end-- prints 1 a then 2 b then 3 c```
gollark: Or more accurately maps which can be used as arrays.
