Of course. I have no interest in understanding crappy Matlab/Octave language.

Instead I prefer to wrap the two mentioned languages constructs by functions 
which allow me to use familiar C/C++/Perl paradigm/idioms, specifically the 
Perl ones.

Matlab/Octave structs are associative arrays according to the documentation, 
and this exactly how I treat them.
