This is probably the only way to have fast software in today's hardware. Unfortunately the popular languages are all about single element at a time, and pointer chasing with the compiler having a hard time vectorizing operations and reorganizing data structures. I think most compilers don't/can't even do this because there are not enough guarantees. The only systems that actually do this are DBMSs. |

Reminds me of a recent blog post on exactly this topic. Apparently the Jai language might make some progress on this point.
