While I understand the benefits of creating the named portions of a Tuple via OpenStruct, It's 5 lines to create versus one, and in most cases the extra information created by using named parameters isn't beneficial, since I'm wanting to use the Tuple as a dumb ( simple) data container.

ruby_tuples

// what I'm forced to do?

def make_triforce
  // blah blah business logic
  struct = new OpenStruct
  struct.name = //whatever
  struct.age = //whatever
  struct.location = //whatever
  struct
end

def primary_ops
  // blah blah blah
  struct = make_triforce
  complex_object = new ComplexObject(
    somethingelse
    struct.name
    snakes
    triforce.age
    trifoce.location
  )
end

ScalaTuples

// what I'd like to do

def primaryOperation(): Unit = {
  // blah
  // blah
  val triforce = makeTriforce
  val complexObject = new ComplexObject(
    firstParam = somethingelse
    secondParam = triforce._1
    thirdParm = snakes
    fourthParam = triforce._2
    fifthParam = trifoce._3
  )
}

def makeTriforce(): Tuple3[String, String, String] = {
  // all sorts of business logic
  (result1, result2, result3)  / Tuple3
}
