    The point is that you can compile both old and new versions of C++ using the same compiler. Rust and Go also evolve like this

    Here is a presentation talking about the parallelization techniques, I skipped to the relevant part but the entire presentation is helpful in understanding how Mojo's compiler work…

    Very interesting. But GPU programming gets complicated when you start doing 3d computation on very large data, will be interesting to see how tensor abstraction is built on top of …

    Linear types requires significant work to incorporate into the core built-in collections and types. I've been following the work on Mojo to enable Linear type support for built-in …

    Django is nice, but I'm currently migrating a project from Django to Go because Django is too large. I would love to stay with it, but simply assimilating the docs has been a chore…
