   @ekaitz_zarraga @Ninjatrappeur In general I’d recommend records: they’re disjoint types (so you get type checking and can’t put in a value for a nonexistent field) and they’re fast. There’s destructuring via ‘match’ (or ‘match-record’ in Guix).

     @Ninjatrappeur In clojure it's easier to manage because the hash-maps have a good interface... and argument destructuring helps a lot.

     In guile I'm not even sure about which type I should use for things... alists are superslow for the type of application I'm trying to build and I can't think of anything better than a record...
     Maybe rewrite in C?
