QB64-PE needs a lot of things 
I'm not sure it needs a native dictionary type, but definitely better support for making such structures efficient and self-contained. You should be able to make a "Dictionary" or "List" type that you can just Dim a variable as without needing extra stuff like global arrays or etc.
Additionally, if they're not built-in to the language then it should provide a supported library of common data structures, so even if they're not directly part of the language you wouldn't need to write your own.
