Article: Beyond Objects and Functions: Exploring Data-Oriented Programming

Data-oriented programming (DOP) focuses on how data flows through memory, optimizing layout, cache use, and access patterns. Unlike OOP, DOP boosts performance by reducing cache misses and improving CPU efficiency. It’s ideal for real-time systems like games and trading, often using ECS for parallelism. DOP complements OOP/FP, offering speed and scalability where performance is critical.
