#MoonBit looks like a really interesting new #ProgrammingLanguage :awesome:
Especially its functional, data-oriented design and #WASM support stand out to me.
Looks _a lot_ like #Rust, but more functional in style. ✨
It is expected to reach 1.0 this year. 👀

I've been programming professionally for almost thirty years. I'm a fan of OOP; it has served me very well.
Java has been making a lot of changes and at first I didn't see the point. Why use sealed classes and pattern matching when a good ol' object hierarchy would do the job?
I discovered "data oriented design", how it's the "opposite" of OOP, and am starting to grasp when it'd make more sense
Practical Data-oriented Design, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IroPQ150F6c by @andrewrk. That's an amazing talk, with concrete examples on the Zig compiler.
Andrew Kelley - Practical #DOD
In this #talk, Andrew Kelley (creator of #ZigLang), presents how they've sped up the #Zig #compiler and significantly reduced its memory usage by applying data-oriented design for the compiler's data structures.
A phenomenal talk! I highly recommend it. :awesome:

Hi #PHP Community, I just came across a talk about #DataOrientedDesign and #MemoryAlignment during my lunch break. I'm familiar with the concept in Golang and C projects and I've always designed my structs accordingly. I am currently working in a PHP environment and since performance and low memory footprints are never really requirements here anyway, I haven't pursued memory alignment any further for the time being.
But now I'm interested because after some …

Software engineers should really look more into #ECS and #DataOrientedDesign architecture when designing software. This is especially useful in software systems written in #Rust.
It is mostly used in #GameEngine's, most notably in #Bevy #BevyEngine, but is very useful outside of #GameDev, too.
It all comes down to this:
- separate data from behaviour
- favor composition over inheritance
It's the antidote to #OOP.

If I ever start blogging, my first blog posts will be about how #ObjectOrientedProgramming solves real problems to shut up the #DataOrientedDesign crowd.
#DOD people often don't distinguish between #OOP and #CleanCode, don't understand their principles or how they are applied in practice. They often come from a small subset of the industry (games, embedded, ...) and have never been exposed to the more common enterprise apps that provide functionality to non-technical end users. #programming
Hey folks, do you know good resources about "Data Oriented Programming"?
I think I might be doing something like that already but in an informal, perhaps empirically intuitive way, I caught a glimpse of the concept and I got more interested in, if you have something to share about it it would be nice!

Do people have examples of Entity Component Systems used outside of games?
If you squint, relational/columnar DBs line up data wise (though the System analogy is fuzzier). Data Frame style tools inspired by APLs sort of fuzzy match as well.
Curious if anyone knows other ECS or quasi-ECS patterns in real software. Especially if you built it and have opinions!

When you start with a bucket full of crap, just emptying it out is an improvement.
The bit that made me spit coffee was:
"To reduce computationally expensive video conversion jobs, we built a microservice that splits videos into frames and temporarily uploads images to an S3 bucket."
Wow. Just wow. Now, in Mike Acton speak: "Get the clowns out of the car."
@ghostRadioGames I think you should have let it live until the end of the world.exe. Who are you to Delete()? #dataorienteddesign

While experimenting with #dataorienteddesign, I managed to make a rewind tool that enables me to pause the game, come back a few seconds ago, and display the data of every component in the scene. It's gonna be priceless for debug ! https://mastodon.gamedev.place/media/eGhyICPMdjUWT48RnQw
