Proposing a struct syntax for Python (snarky.ca)

I'm still digesting this one and haven't formed any strong opinions yet.

I've had problems in the past where this could have been useful, like ingesting millions of lat/long positions and trying to string them together in a "trail". But, I was still able to handle that fine with namedtuple without too much pain.

Thoughts?

I wouldnt hate its existence, and certainly i would always prefer anyone use this over namedtuple.

At the same time, i think i would never use it. 90% of my classes these days are dataclasses, and the set that don’t inherit from anything, and have no methods are vanishingly small

I don’t know that harkening to rust structs makes much sense in python, (…which can have methods)
