</div>As best I can understand - after reading the papers by Richard O'Keef and Joe Armstrong - structs and frames are trying to solve pretty much the same problem and the main distinction appears to be that structs are named/tagged while frames are defined only by their content.<br>
<br>
I don't see a need for the tag (ie. struct) and I think it might be a problem in some cases. What situations can people see where the struct tag is better than say, tag=someTagAtom in a frame?<br>
