   It's inspired (*) by SwiftUI's new-ish Shader functionality.

   It really helps reduce the amount of boilerplate required to work with compute shaders.

     Wrote an example for Compute that runs Conway's Game of Life and encodes it to video…

     Here’s the Swift code: https://github.com/schwa/Compute/blob/main/Sources/Examples/GameOfLife.swift
     And the Metal (not optimised): https://github.com/schwa/Compute/blob/main/Sources/Examples/GameOfLife.metal

     It's able to generate 4K frames at several hundred fps. (The H264 encoding is much slower.
