>Nobody bats an eye when an article talks about cache lines and how you organize data in a multi-dimensional array (zig-zagging one way is faster than the alternative). I don't follow, this is not really about programing languages and more about optimizing for a given architecture. Surely this problem would also arise if you're trying to optimize Haskell code? Or, for that matter, assembly, Go, Pascal or any language that lets you have low-level control on memory layout of your data.
