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.
