This idea of data-oriented design has been influencing much of how I write code and approach problems these days. In dynamic GC'd languages it's all too easy to trick yourself into believing that all problems are unbounded. However most problems are not. And doing the math ahead of time allows you to write the minimal amount of code to do the transformation required. It's really cool.
