I'm actually mostly worried about the future of Mojo at this time. Though hopefully it will be fully released open source still, but I feel there are question marks around whether it will be a priority to continue to develop by Qualcomm, or if they are mainly interested in the AI compute stack? Time will tell I guess, but a lot feels to be up in the air.
Maybe Chris was a little unhappy about where Mojo ended up, and sees this as an opportunity to start anew on a properly designed language from scratch :D

No, this was pure speculation based on what seems like a popular view on where Mojo ended up, where the initial Python-focus don't seem to help it that much anymore.

#14Oh, that is unexpected... I tried applying for a position at Modular a few days ago.

#15Qualcomm seems to be assembling a whole portfolio of technologies/products aimed at
1. Moving beyond ARM to RISC-V
2. Being competitive for AI/could needs instai of just chips for phones and other edge devices.
Interesting to see bold and high-conviction moves in this direction. Tenstorrent, Modular, Ventana, Alphawave, etc.

There are multiple HN submissions on this topic and none of them gets traction. Weird...

Why you say that? Nuvia made a massively great success with Oryon CPUs which are now all over the place.
