Plus, I remembered the Allman Brothers, "Eat a peach."
The real point here is that I think ECS could be adapted from the C/C++
game community as a cache friendly way of doing OO (without doing
traditional OO). Think Scheme "uniform vectors".

My attempt to understand the meaning of Sander Mertens avatar on Github
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/mit-scheme-devel/2022-06/msg00002.html
messageNotUnderstood :)
Sander Mertens' avatar is Darth Vader maniacally pouring water from the
ocean into a water pitcher, to filter it, somewhat puzzlingly. My
message on MIT Scheme was related to the old MIT OCW Courseware 6.001
(the new one is in Python, blech) picture where man was devolving, until
ultimately reaching being a caveman in front of a terminal.
My understanding is that it is similar to the "peaches meme" in American
folk music, where even eating peaches from a PETE jar injecting
plasticizers into one's bloodstream can improve brain health. The note
I found on the fridge was a joke I tried to play my spouse about a tree
squirrel that lives next to our house, who has a better diet and more
solidly constructed house than ours, who we affectionately call "Sneaky
Pete". She was skeptical that Pete the Squirrel, not PETE the
container, put the note their.
Ultimately, ECS seems like a way to save energy and improve things.
Sorry if this is a bit dense of a topic. I'm really just glad we
touched base on all the other important things in ECS. I don't want to
throw away CLOS or SOS just yet, though.
