Some thoughts about TVMScript

I’m +1 for syntax sugar or whatever that can hide the details of TIR mechanics that new users shouldn’t be concerned about.

We are always trying to hide the details and introducing sugar for the Script syntax. Any reasonable sugars are welcomed.

Other python-based DSLs like Taichi and Triton certainly feel more “pythonic”.

I’m not sure if TVMScript should be the interface for new users. TVMScript is not only an interface language but also a one-to-one mapping for TIR, the whole data structure. TVMScript looks like the syntax for LLVM IR but it’s not the C++ language.

For beginner users TE compute may be a better choice.

T.reads and T.writes can be auto-detected by now for simple workloads
