Precisely, one of the things that turns me off on Python (coming from Lua), is the unnatural proliferation of different container types.

Oddly that's one of the things I like most about python. The containers module has so many very useful things. Plus hash-tables and array-lists shouldn't ever really be the same thing.
To each their own :-)
You might like Tcl - associative arrays (hash tables), arrays (lists), strings, numbers, and code are all the one type (at least conceptually).
