Slang code can be broadly portable, but still take advantage of the unique features of each platform. For textual targets such as Metal Shading Language(MSL) and CUDA, Slang generates readable code that preserves the original identifier names and the type + call structure for ease of debugging. * [Automatic differentiation](https://shader-slang.com/slang/user-guide/autodiff.html) as a first-class language feature. Slang can automatically generate both forward and backward derivative propagation code for complex functions that involve arbitrary control flow and dynamic dispatch.
