FWIW, structs and classes are largely identical in C++ , with the exception of public/private defaults.

So using one over the other doesn’t really change anything with regards to data oriented design.

Aye, as opposed to D where structs are value types and classes are reference types

It's just a small annoyance to have to put "public:" at the top of every data-class definition

So I use structs everywhere but you're completely right, no real difference

Yeah I do the same as you since I write a ton of Swift (which does the same delineation as D).

It’s mostly just a mental marker for myself that I want to treat one as a value type.
