Thank you so much! This looks really great. I'll merge this in once v0.5.8 (with #575) is released. (Once merged in master this will be reflected immediately in the docs, hence the delay.)

@archibate good point. While I think objective data orient programing will be the most common use case, I should come up with something more general. perhaps: ti.static() makes it possible to retain python style pointer assignment within Taichi kernels and functions. This allows local variables to alias global variables and functions, which can then be used throughout the kernel instead. show static assignment of global tensor and function... This is also particularly useful for objective data-oriented programming, which inherits the python syntax of requiring self for class member access. show self simplification example ... |
