I have also been using python a long time and i honestly can’t remember a time i used mixed type list.

In my code this comes up often, e.g. when I use tuples instead of namedtuple or a dataclass.

Tuples aren't lists though. Tuples are really just structs with indexes instead of names.

I use mixed lists all the time to store shit, but I'm also a total python newb that really doesn't know better.
