       | One feature I'm especially excited about is differentiable
       | physics which taichi enables automatically. This means you can
       | know how a small adjustment to your initial state will change the
       | simulation. The power of this is it makes it possible to figure
       | out what initial state you need to achieve a given final state.
       | For example, in this Taichi demo they compute velocity field of a
       | fluid so that it warps a grid into their logo after a certain
       | amount of time
       | 
       | Here's a two minute papers videos explaining this

       | 
       | To top it off it supports compiling multiple backends, including
       | GPU backends like Metal and CUDA as well as plain C
