A file extension of [fire emoji], this is not easy to type from a terminal. Edit: It's even stripped on HN!
Read on their discord server that it both support .mojo and the fire emoji

Re: Mojo – a new programming language for AI developers
#62There 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…
> Julia is far more mature and advanced in many ways. Many folks have and will continue to push Julia forward and we wish them the best, it is a lovely ecosystem and language. There is room for more than one thing! :) In general this tends to be true. However, in this case I'm not so sure. Modular seems to have garnered a lot of investment - probably orders of magnitude more than the Julia community has been able to…

#63Somewhere out there, a recruiter is gearing up to demand 5 years experience with Mojo before they will look at your resume.

#64How does performance compare to Python in the general case, when not dropping into tricks?
Either way, kudos, exciting stuff, just questions I had after reading about it.

#65Is 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.

Oh god I hope this is not a close source language. I have spent 10+ years fighting the MATLAB ecosystem, I prefer not to spend the next 10 years fighting this thing.
If this is closed source, it's already as irrelevant as matlab so no reason to fight it. If there are useful bits there will be python versions of them.

But the cost has already been paid. We have NumPy, we have PyTorch and TensorFlow. So I don't see the value-add here. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
