Note that I didn't suggest replacing structs with NamedTuples entirely - only during prototyping, while you're figuring out what you want your struct to look like. Structs most definitely will be faster.

I mean, I could, it's just that its pretty hard to know in advance which structs I will have to modify... Most of the time I only need to do minor edits like add 1 field. By that point I need to recompile anyway if I am to switch to NamedTuples...

I am not 100% sure this is true.

Structs will definately look cleaner in the code. Not sure they will be faster though.

Do you know what the differences end up being when it comes to compilation? (not a rhetorical question - I'd like to know)

Run `@code_typed` and `@code_llvm` and find out?
