You are referring to Data-Oriented design, while I am referring to Data-Oriented programming

Useful:

> Data-oriented design => Increase performance via Data layout

> Data-driven programming => Increase clarity via Behaviour described by data

> Data-oriented programming => via Reduce complexity via Data representation

Perhaps pick a better name that isn't confusing. In industry what your definition refers to is called "generic programming" if I understand correctly.

I didn't choose the term "Data-Oriented programming" It was used by Cognitect folks to promote clojure [1] and actually it was coined by Eugene Kutznetsov in 2004 [2]

As you know, naming is one of the two hard things in programming.
