Still not open-source it looks like [2]. I'm not willing to create an account right now. Can someone who has an account post what the pricing looks like if any? I'd also be curious what other agreements you have to make other than the terms of service[1] you agree to when making an account.

I'm not willing to make an account either, I'm too scared what Modular will do with my data for privacy reasons, especially seeing that giant Google sign in button.

Hopefully, someone will and sign up so that we know Modular intends to do with our data once they collect it.

I bit the bullet. After singing in via google, its just a page with instructions on installing the Mojo SDK. Nothing about pricing but on their FAQ section they do talk about the telemetry data they collect and how to disable it

With all due respect - scared of what? I'm genuinely curious what you're worried about. Can you give me some real world examples of a possible negative repercussion from signing up? I haven't signed up. I don't have an account, just been a curious lurker for the Mojo thing over the past couple of months.

Hi, thanks for your interest! You can opt out of telemetry if you like. Please see the FAQ here: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#does-the-mojo-sdk-col...

For open sourcing, we also have a section in our FAQ: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#open-source, and we answered a question about that in the latest livestream! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQh9es5gfpo

For the question on pricing, the Mojo SDK is free to use.

I’m really excited about Mojo, but can’t help but feel like Modular’s insistence to register for the download is a red flag for how they will handle Mojo development. It leaves a bit of a bad impression.

Didn't try downloading the SDK yet, but in the playground, seems like the "Python superset" advertisement does not hold (trying to define a class gives "error: classes not implemented yet"). Great to see progress in this space but I think the real killer feature of Mojo would be to run any existing Python program and allow programmers to incrementally adopt Mojo's syntax for targeted optimizations, and seems like we're not there yet.
