@tqchen We understand this requirement. While the current immutable + COW design of Array provides benefits for unified tuple/map handling, there's a clear need for controlled mutability. We propose adding __setitem__ at the Python layer leveraging the existing COW mechanism, exposing ArraySetItem via FFI. This maintains backward compatibility (arrays remain immutable by default) while enabling arr[i] = value syntax. When the array has a unique reference, modifications happen in-place; multiple references trigger COW. The implementation is added to src/ffi/container.cc and python/tvm_ffi/container.py, ready to use. This approach preserves the semantic benefits of immutability while providing flexible mutability when needed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
