I already added "Mojo Evangelism is my mojo" in my LinkedIn Title.

Dibs on Mojo Dojo (mojodojo.com), your new premier training resource for Mojo.

I wonder if GoJo (Lukas Matsson‘s app) is built with Mojo

> 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…

Julia is doing quite well for such a young language, lets not forget how many decades it took for Python to actually matter beyond OS scripting. https://juliahub.com/case-studies/

Can 11 years old still be considered young for a programming language?

Julia is doing alright, https://juliahub.com/case-studies/

Alright most likely isn't going to cut it when Python gets even more entrenched.

Depends on how much people like to write C.

Yes, Python is 32 years old by now, and the first 10 years was largely ignored, I bet most don't even remember Zope.

Hi Jeremy Howard here. I pop up in the launch video to demo super-fast matmul and mandelbrot in mojo. I'm pretty excited about this language, to say the least - not just for AI/ML, but for pretty much everything! Lemme know if you have any questions and I'll answer as best as I can. (I'm an advisor to Modulo.)

When can we expect to get access to the Mojo playground?

Absolutely, Rust was 9 years old when it hit 1.0

Maybe someone can correct me, but I don't think it's a superset of Python--I don't think it will accept existing Python programs and I'm pretty sure you can't do all of the dynamic Python stuff (otherwise you would have to essentially compile/link an interpreter into your binaries giving you these super slow paths that aren't necessarily obvious when reading source code). > Judging by what I've seen so far, it seems…

>We utilize CPython to run all existing Python3 code “out of the box” without modification >Further, we decided that the right long-term goal for Mojo is to provide a superset of Python

The FAQ states that “Mojo is still early and not yet a Python superset, so only simple programs can be brought over as-is with no code changes.”

I have no idea how to reconcile that with the quotes you provided.

[edit] Ah, it seems you can control things running in a bundled CPython:

    plt = Python.import_module("matplotlib.pyplot")
    fig = plt.figure(1, [width, height], dpi)
    ax = fig.add_axes([0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0], False, 1), "hsv", 0, 0, 1.5)
    ...
    plt.imshow(image)

Or, if the polars library is any indication, Rust.
