Yes, I suppose there are two fixes here. One it to try make the updates "atomic" on typed tables, to fix the bug of the table being corrupted. I worry...

Is the suggestion here to switch the printing logic to use PrettyTables.jl? I guess it's possible, but we need to be careful about dictionary-based tables too. Or we can steal...

Yeah that's a cool idea. Data generation is a pretty important topic - it would be cool to be able to specify a "distribution" for each column somehow. Not sure...

Thanks, Jacob. I’ll look into it when I can (currently on vacation). From memory I think `similar` works but maybe not `collect`. The `Generator` thing might have relied on older...

Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder if we can make this a Tables.jl table?

Historically, TypedTables came just before StructArrays, and they have a lot in common. I'd say TypedTables comes from "dataframes in Julia should just be a strongly typed AbstractVector" and StructArrays...

Yes, the other obvious one is in this category is [StructArrays.jl](https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StructArrays.jl), which I understand is well regarded. The philisophy here has evolved towards mostly being just an `AbstractArray` of named...

I sometimes wonder if there should be a really lightweight `Table` that e.g. wraps an `AbstractArray` and defines the show methods and so-on. Or - if we can improve the...

> Tests fail because reductions now use SIMD and the tests check `==`. Happy to switch to `isapprox` with appropriate tolerence.

One interesting thing about this - this optimization goes with the assumption that `StaticArray`s have dense (or at least SIMD-fetchable) layout. I wonder how this works on things like the...
