Fascinating.
The AI industry is currently beholden to Nvidia, in part because of CUDA's superiority over ROCm. Therefore there's a big need for projects like this.

#42Is this closed source? I just assumed that a new programming language would be open source but I don't see any links to GitHub or any other place. The getting started page also requires you to put in your name and contact information.

#44There are a bunch of questions about Julia, so I'll do my best to give a short answer to a very long and complicated topic. Up front, Julia is a wonderful language and a wonderful community, I am a super fan. That said, Mojo is a completely different thing. It is aligned with the Python community to solve specific problems outlined here: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/why-mojo.html Mojo also has a bunch of technical a…
No GC and Python compatibility sounds interesting, is there docs about memory management?
Edit: seems some current hints are under the roadmap "Ownership and Lifetimes" heading but Python compatibility is not described yet.

This is exactly what I was trying to figure out. It seems like the answer is no at this time.
