Just for reference for people reading this thread I figure I’d highlight [[ANN] CompositeStructs.jl](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-compositestructs-jl/58902) which is maybe the least restrictive of these packages (ConcreteAbstractions.jl, Mixers.jl, Classes.jl, …) that try to mimick inheritance. Anyway, like the author of ConcreteAbstractions, I don’t feel strongly that this is a “great” solution that should be used alot, but maybe useful in certain situations.
