| Jan 27, 2023 at 4:07 | comment | added | user122973 | @Evorlor, I am familiar with the basic concept, better now, same structure inverted data. Turns out, I have been using these concepts all along for my projects. | |

The benefits are memory layout and complexity management, which are useful even in such horrible languages as Python and JavaScript. | |

| Jan 13, 2023 at 13:40 | comment | added | Philipp | By the way: Unity has an experimental ECS system that uses C#. However, idiomatic ECS code in Unity is limited to a subset of the C# language that doesn't allow classes (only structures). | |
| Jan 13, 2023 at 13:36 | comment | added | Philipp | "The formal ECS specification was developed to address gaming in a Javascript environment." - I wonder where you read that. ECS comes primarily from the C / C++ community, which benefits the most from it performance-wise because the programmer has a lot of direct control over memory management. | |
| Jan 13, 2023 at 12:59 | comment | added | DMGregory♦ | "all of the classes' members must be public" — here you're talking about the component data, specifically, right? (Although for performance in C# the components would usually be structs, not classes) We have some past Q&A about implementing ECS style solutions in C# that might be of interest to you as well. | |
