@XuehaiPan, I agree. However, we should maintain support for Python 3.8 due to some reasons. We plan to deprecate Python 3.8 in the future once we integrate with TVM-FFI. In the meantime, I suggest introducing a simple CI that imports tilelang and runs a quick gemm test to verify python 3.8 syntax support. @yyttt6, cc'ing you when you have time.
