 Turing sampling methods (most of which are written [here](https://github.com/TuringLang/Turing.jl/tree/master/src/mcmc)) also implement `AbstractMCMC`. Turing defines a particular architecture for `AbstractMCMC` implementations, that enables working with models defined by the `@model` macro, and uses DynamicPPL as a backend. The goal of this page is to describe this architecture, and how you would go about implementing your own sampling method in Turing, using Importance Sampling as an example. I don't go into all the details: for instance, I don't address selectors or parallelism.
