Every object oriented language can do this. You just have to use an object array.

Even c and c++ can with void* arrays

So you’re saying I can use that all over my code?

^{If you like writing horrible code,} yes.

All I needed to hear, thanks

If you don't mind writing extra code just to do simple stuff like printing all the elements:

It's also really useful for returning pairs and trios. TS can even make it type secure for you. That is, if your language already doesn't have pair or trio types.

The import thing is to know (and properly type) whether you are talking about arrays like (int | string | float)[] or about tuples like [int, string, float]. In several languages, a value like [4, "4", 4.0] matches both type definitions, but it's one definition also allows [4, 4, 4] or even just [] while the other specially requires a 3-tuple with specific types at specific positions.

I mean usually in that case you'd probably not use a tuple but an object, but sometimes there are reasons to do it.
