I agree with you Jonathan but am wondering, will Jai help programmers write programs with better cache coherency even if said programmers don’t understand cache coherency well? Or is that orthogonal to the goals of Jai?
- cma 7y agoIf it still plans on wrapping SOA in something that looks in use like AOS, it could make people less aware of how their code is impacting cache (would now have to look at the definitions instead of seeing the array form at point of usage). But if it is enough more ergonomic to write AOS code it might still be worth it and increase uptake.

- naikrovek 7y agoLike any reasonable language, I imagine JAI will allow a developer to write software with the cache in mind. It will not force them to, nor will it prevent them from doing otherwise.
