       | you might choose, so even if there are lots of abstraction layers
       | on top, getting these sorts of tools into people's hands at an
       | earlier age is awesome. Hopefully many people will get hooked on
       | programming, CFD, scientific computing, accelerated computing etc
       | simply because the devs of this thought it was worthwhile to make
       | an accessible fun way to "make particles go brrr." Very cool!
