That Structure of Arrays performs much better than an Array of Structures is a very well known tidbit since long ago; what I'd love to read more is about how people design code around this fact.

For bigger codebases where you might not even be the person (or team) who designed the data types, and are just given a class or struct that needs to be collected into a large array, it's not simple to just decompose structures into an array per property.

In fact, this is a basic thing to want to do, but I've seen no language support for it ever. (in popular / industry frequently used langs). The `FancyList<Point>` idea from another comment is indeed interesting, but it would require reflection I guess.
