Some languages like Odin, ISPC, and Jai all have annotations that can automatically transform AoS to SoA. A key benefit is you can easily experiment to see if this helps your application, without doing a major refactor.

In https://github.com/golang/go/issues/64926 it was a bridge-too-far for the Go developers (fair enough) but maybe it could still happen one day.
