Some of the earlier ones remind me of C#'s records. Were they inspired from them?

No, that stuff is much much older.

Named parameters are problematic because of parameter names becoming significant to the API. See Python’s * and / in parameter lists (like def foo(a, *, b) for example).

I think the name problem is overblown, you can always have an annotation to facilitate name changes.
