Truly misguided article as most of the things by the author, unfortunately. I was so excited about the book "Data-oriented programming" when it was first being released...it was so heavily publicized as well that it was constantly in my face which likely pushed me over the edge to give it a shot and buy it.

Unfortunately, not all that glitters is gold. It feels extremely beginner oriented, only touched basic concepts taught at uni level and it shows a huge disconnect between the theory and the real world work of a developer leveraging data in any way, shape or form.

Don't buy the book, it's so not worth it.
