OOP style and AoS in general does cause cache unfriendly data
access. You can separate out your hot and cold data but at that
point you're not really programming in an OO style. He doesn't
use RTTI, templates, exceptions, etc. for different reasons
than cache friendliness.
Modern C++ != OO style.
I'd say modern C++ is more generic + functional than OO.
He seems to think C++ is about programming in some sort of Java
design pattern inspired way.
At what point does he say it's difficult to code in a SoA style
in C++? He clearly states he sees no advantage to C++ over C.
1. He references Design patterns during his tirade against C++,
who the hell uses design patterns in C++ these days?
2. He uses Ogre, a 15 year old terrible mess of a rendering
engine, written in a nasty Java style, as an example of why C++
is bad
