"I view this as a fundamental design limitation of C++, one that might someday be fixed with generative meta-programming" As an example of this could be done in a homoiconic language, refer to Julia's StructArrays.jl [0] package. This package can automagically and transparently convert from AoS to SoA without touching 'business logic'. Under the hood, this uses the '@generated' macro -- which is essential in a lot of zero-cost abstraction packages, e.g. Blobs.jl [1].
