...methods, to differentiate models (quadratic or conic) with optimal solutions. Differentiable optimization is a promising field of convex optimization and has many potential applications in game theory, control theory and machine learning. Recent work has shown how to differentiate specific subclasses of convex optimization problems. But several applications remain unexplored. With the help of automatic differentiation, differentiable optimization can have a significant impact on creating end-to-end differentiable systems to model neural networks, stochastic processes, or a game.

...In essence, ComponentArrays allow you to do the things you would usually need a modeling language for, but without actually needing a modeling language. The main targets are for use in DifferentialEquations.jl and Optim.jl, but anything that requires flat vectors is fair game.

...With a focus on flexibility and code quality, Starlight aims to be such a framework. It includes a suite of components and integrations that make it particuarly well-suited for video games, so it is not a stretch to call it a "game engine". However, Starlight is most fundamentally a scripting layer for SDL, Vulkan, and Bullet (via the Telescope backend), meaning it can be used for any application that needs high-performance rendering and physics. Furthermore, there are plans to allow selective enabling of different subsystems, meaning it could be used for GUI apps or pure physics simulation or anything else you can imagine.
