One of the primary advantages of a per-thread programming model in kernel programming is the elimination of concerns regarding maintaining masks for branches. When developing a kernel in Slang, you can use all control flow statements, composite data types (structs, arrays, etc.), and function calls without additional effort. Code created with these language constructs can be automatically differentiated by the compiler without any restrictions. Additionally, Slang is a strongly typed language, which ensures that you will never encounter type errors at runtime. Most code errors can be identified as you type thanks to the [compiler's coding assistance service](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=shader-slang.slang-language-extension), further streamlining the development process.
