  He (deliberately I'd guess)conflates cache friendly data 
structures and access patterns with his particular preference for 
a C style.

  It is a fallacy that he presents as fact.

  The key to these type of fast code isn't the C style, it is the 
contiguous data layout, and cache friendly access patterns, both 
of which are easily enough to perform in modern C++.
