If you are talking about the Qualcomm acquisition that was a different Modular.

Why is that?
It’s now on the whims of Qualcomm, a for-profit company.
What did you think Modular was prior to the acquisition?
I mean, I can understand not being on board with Qualcomm and thinking the stewardship may go awry, but the reason given doesn’t seem to fit a company that raised multiple rounds of funding

Sorry, should've put this:
It’s now on the whims of Qualcomm, a for-profit company, who might be only interested in the talent and not what that talent has been doing at Modular.

#15Feel sad for Mojo... "like Python but not Python", language like that is basically the uncanny valley for LLMs. Not just a lack of training data problem, it is also very easy to get confused, just like bash and fish. :(

I'd argue now is the perfect time because of the growth of agentic programming.

#18The title makes me happy, but the link just goes to a signup page? Their homepage ( https://mojolang.org/ ) states > The Mojo standard library is fully open-source on GitHub and we welcome contributions! We also plan to open-source the Mojo compiler in 2026. Their roadmap ( https://mojolang.org/docs/roadmap/ ) doesn't say anything about it.
It's on https://mojolang.org
What exactly? I already quoted what I could find (only very general statements).
Ah, seems to be here: https://mojolang.org/docs/faq/#will-mojo-be-open-sourced
> We have committed to open-sourcing Mojo in Fall 2026.
