Well, in some domains there are big changes, due to hardware working differently. When doing number crunching nowadays cache locality is king (cache is 100 times faster then ram). So one should start from the memory layout of the data (data driven design?).

It even lead to Stroustroup saying in a talk that one shouldnt use linked list at all, but instead vectors, because even when linked lists should shine, they do not anymore.
