Writing this in Mojo would have been so much easier

It's barely gaining adoption though. The lack of buzz is a chicken and egg issue for Mojo. I fiddled shortly with it (mainly to get it working some of my pythong scripts), and it was suprisingly easy. It'll shoot up one day for sure if Latner doesn't give up early on it.

Fun game: see how many clicks it takes you to learn what MLIR stands for. I lost count at five or six. Define your acronyms on first use, people.

I did it in three. I selected it in your comment, and then had to hit "more" to get to the menu to ask Google about it, which brought me to https://www.google.com/search?q=MLIR which says: MLIR is an open-source compiler infrastructure project developed as a sub-project of the LLVM project. Hopefully Get better at computers and stop needing to be spoon-fed information, people!

In this day and age, asking questions about what something is is a minefield of “just ask AI” and “You should know this”. Let’s stop putting down people who ask questions and root out those that have shitty answers.

And yet you didn’t tell us what it stands for, just what it is. The person you’re responding to was specifically talking about finding out what it stands for

Use-cases like this are why Mojo isn't used in production, ever. What does Nvidia gain from switching to a proprietary frontend for a compiler backend they're already using? It's a legal headache.

Second-rate libraries like OpenCL had industry buy-in because they were open. They went through standards committees and cooperated with the rest of the industry (even Nvidia) to hear-out everyone's needs. Lattner gave up on appealing to that crowd the moment he told Khronos to pound sand. Nobody should be wondering why Apple or Nvidia won't touch Mojo with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole.

From Wikipedia: The name "Multi-Level Intermediate Representation" reflects the system’s ability to model computations at various abstraction levels and progressively lower them toward machine code.
