Quasiquotes were introduced in tensorflow/swift as a promising approach to metaprogramming to power our work on Swift MLIR, but we found a SIL-based approach to be more useful for the case studies that we currently have in mind. Aside from Swift MLIR, we don't have any other use cases for quasiquotes, so I'm suggesting we remove them to: 1) reduce the delta between tensorflow and master which goes along the lines of our long-term plans to converge these two branches, 2) simplify weekly merges.

Out of curiosity, Is there any information available on the general idea behind the SIL approach and its advantages? |
