  • Yeah, the second he started talking about computer architecture, I thought “he’s going to align the data and keep it close to each in memory for better caching and faster access, isn’t he?”.

    At the moment, it looks like an interesting way to optimise an existing program. I’m not sure if thinking about it right from the beginning will speed up programming as, IMO, first something functional has to be written with somewhat good architecture, then the architecture improved to make sense and more features added, and once a v1 exists that’s satisfactory, then optimisation starts.

    Maybe I’m wrong though and this is something that can be considered from the getgo, but it feels more like a latestage kind of thing. Some if it can definitely be taken care of by the compiler and the developer made aware of with warnings.
