[FEATURE] Open source the C++ backend and Python package build process
Description
It seems like the current state of affairs with the 4.0.1 release on PyPi is that the backend is locked in a compiled shared library that simply must be trusted. Is the strategy going forward to keep that module closed source?

Hi @zrnsm thanks for raising this question. The process of open sourcing the C++ backend is ongoing. We will keep you posted once it's done.
I'm curious, if you are interested in contributing to the C++ codebase?
Thanks.
@khustup2 I'd definitely be interested in contributing if deeplake works for my use case. I'm still just evaluating some options in this space.
How is the binding implemented? pybind11?
Great! We will keep you posted. Hopefully deeplake will work on your use case. In case it's not, please let us know what didn't go well.
Yes, bindings are implemented using pybind11.
Hi, is the deeplake backend open sourced? Seems there are only the python interfaces.

Hey @chasingegg it's not yet opensourced. We will notify under this thread once it's done.
