Roderick Gibson:
Variant is a possiblity. How is the performance with large
containers of these, since these structures will likely hold
the majority of the data in the game?
You probably have to benchmark yourself. (But I have suggested an
Algebraic).

Roderick Gibson:
I should know the types at compile time, so I will be using it
most likely, but reading the docs it looks like Algebraic is
built on top of the same structure as Variant. Is there any
difference in implementation?
Take a look at the Phobos source code, it's much faster than

I'm asking because I'm doing some game development in D and I've
come upon the entity component architecture, and it looks like a
good way to handle the complexity and interdependency that games
seem to have.
The components wind up being plain old data types (I currently
use structs), with
Roderick Gibson:
auto entities = new Entities();
auto entity_id = entities.createEntity();
entities.addComponent!(position)(entity_id, pos);
entities.addComponent!(movement)(entity_id, mov);
entities.addComponent!(collision)(entity_id, col);
auto physics_data =
