So... is Data Oriented something new? Storing fields in a map leads me to believe this is not Data Oriented Design (DOD). And I completely reject this idea (fields in maps). The "flexibility" there is hardly useful, and could be achieved with defined shapes (types) in modern statically typed languages without all the dowsides. "Separate code from data" is a big core belief I share with this article, but the rest doesn't seem good idea / novel / important.
