Developer installation

Taichi is developed mainly in C++17 and Python3. Please check out the Developer Installation to build Taichi from source. Note that Taichi is LLVM-10.0.0 dependent and that we recommend installing our pre-built LLVM libraries for your platform.

Contribution opportunities

Issues marked with "welcome contribution" are great places for starters. You can quickly get an idea of the entire workflow and how to join the community.

RFC: We use the RFC (Request for Comments) mechanism to discuss and organize some of the more advanced and self-contained features. These are the projects that we would like to work on but still lack a concrete design or implementation roadmap for because of their complexity. We document these requests and the threaded proposals in the hope that we could provide the community with a good enough context and draw upon insights from the potentially passionate minds. You can find all the ongoing RFCs here, and you are also welcome to file new RFCs with us!
