This tutorial is short and is designed for people that have dipped their toes in the water with [jit.matrix] already but want to learn more. It explains all concepts and objects in detail and uses them in fairly conventional ways. It does delve into [jit.expr], which uses syntax that can be slightly confusing to begin with.
