@stevengj posted a nice one liner in [How to use minimum and maximum for a Vector{SVector{3}}](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-use-minimum-and-maximum-for-a-vector-svector-3/26235). The idea is to find the smallest component of the first, second, third … element in a vector of vectors.

```julia
A = [rand(3) for i = 1:10]
reduce((x,y) -> min.(x,y), A)

```

It is fast and works for other types to

```julia
A = [Tuple(rand(3)) for i = 1:10]
reduce((x,y) -> min.(x,y), A)

```

```julia
using StaticArrays
A = [SVector{3}(rand(3)) for i = 1:10]
reduce((x,y) -> min.(x,y), A)

```
