I started a thread a while ago [Thoughts on the Taichi programming language - sparse computing and differentiable programming](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/thoughts-on-the-taichi-programming-language-sparse-computing-and-differentiable-programming/49251) and it didn’t get many comments. Since then I think Taichi received $50 million dollar of funding and really improved things. I heard they are doing a lot of video tutorials on Bilibili (the Chinese version of YouTube) these days in Chinese only. But they also have decent English material.
