I seriously wonder if Java developers ever think about the performance of their code. As a c++ developer it amazes me what you have suggested here is so brutal to the cpu branch prediction and cache coherency that it will no doubt kill what ever the poor jvm can optimize. Clean readable code is useless if it doesn’t perform. If you disagree, show me JMH benchmarks.
