Hmmm. Seems like he’s optimizing clarity of thought, first. The performance gain just comes along for the ride. If I were to summarize the article, I’d say that it’s advocating a pattern where you write code where higher layers decide what needs to be done and then lower layers do it, using a combination of straight line code and simple loops, with little to no further conditionality. Obviously, that represents an ideal.
