Say your resume claims "ContiguousArray is faster than Array." In a pre-interview the interviewer asks, "Then why don't developers use ContiguousArray much in practice?" How would you answer?
When elements are structs or enums, Array already uses a contiguous buffer, so there's no difference; the gain is small against the API compatibility and ecosystem cost, so use it only when a benchmark shows a bottleneck.
