If you need them, there is the 'array' module in the standard library. However,
avoid being like the strereotypical FORTRAN program, who thinks every data
structure is a kind of array.

Posting a short example of when you might use an array might be helpful. Part of
the point of learning a new language, is that it can help you think in a different way.
Trying to take too many concepts across from one language to another is not
always helpful.
