If we prefer to stick to simple, C-inspired syntax, I'd recommend looking at Lua's approach with its table data structure. There is beauty in the minimalism IMO. I am not really of the opinion that Pd should expand to naturally include every data type to solve every problem in everyone's own way. For specific problems, that's where an external or scripting interface comes in.

While we're at it, I'd like to mention the ceammc library, that can be installed in Vanilla (or you can use it as part of the Pd-Ceammc fork) and
well yeah.
there's also "pdcontainer" (from about 2004) by Georg Holzmann, that maps c++ std::containers (including dicts) to pd.
