<h2>Structs, templates and objects</h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Structs, templates, and objects in Solstice are currently in beta. A lot of work in the type checker has been done, but accessing fields is still an issue.</p>
<p>In Solstice, you can create a struct to group various bits of data together. You can specify default values for each field with <code>:</code> or <code>=</code>.</p>
<pre class="code"><code>struct Person {
name: "John"
age: 32
}</code></pre>
<p>This struct generates a template named "Person" which can be used later to generate new objects.</p>
<p>You can use the <code>new</code> operator to create new instances of templates.</p>
<pre class="code"><code>max = new Person</code></pre>

<div id="inline_ground">
<h2>Inline Ground</h2>
<p>Since Solstice is built atop Ground, you can write Ground code inside Solstice code, usually to wrap a Ground function for the Solstice standard library.</p>
