Rust & Python are nice, but Mojo has Magic

A look at the current state of the Mojo language and ecosystem. We build a simple program that takes a URL as input and uses Llama 3.1 or 3.2 to generate a summary of whatever is at the URL. First in Python and then in Mojo. Includes a brief intro to the magic package management tool.

There is no way you listed Chris's accomplishments without mentioning his greatest, LLVM 🤦

Mojo is not truly open source, compiler and debugger is not open source yet, and license is confusing with vague "Non compete" clause. Design is bettter then rust, but still missing many stuff. Unlikely to get any significant adoption outside AI, and back by venture capital is not god sign, even it's created by Chris Lattner. The licence, community backing and ecosystem is it's biggest hurdle for general adoption.

If you don't know anything else, this video doesn't tell you why the mojo version is potentially better.

MAX is not built entirely in Mojo as Mojo is not mature enough to build such a critical infrastructure, It is built in C++. GPU kernels for MAX are what are written entirely in Mojo

0:39 - 😂 impressive track record: having been interviewed by Lex Friedman…

[TheLostBijou]

at 4:40 you appear to be complementing python, but its really a compliment on that specific API you are using, which has nothing to do with the language. Earlier you said CUDA was a programming language, but its actually a framework and an API.

I am studying data science and I am looking forward to use Mojo in the near feature!

[PouriyaJamshidi]

You should really take a look at Nim. Syntax of Python, performance of C++/Rust

Before I unpause the video Imma click that bell icon. I totally forgot about Mojo. What a timely and lovely feed recommendation. And thank you too! Now, back to watching 👀

[kmaximoff]

Hey thank you for all of your content! I love watching Rust related content !

[empathy_monster]

I personally don't understand why everyone is so critical that the Mojo compiler is not yet open source. What Chris Lattner and team are doing with the newly developed MLIR has never been done before. Think of it like UNIX, and now we have open source implementations that revolutionized computing forever, and Mojo aims to do something similar with programming.

Before Rust, I tried mojo. I love it, but it was in a really early state, only available in the playground, so I focused on Rust again.

[AliMoeeny]

interviewed by Lex is before created Swift :D
Keep up the good work, thanks for the great videos

[Heavy_Lvy]

I like using ollama with its python api when i want my program to have llm, its intereface is little more simpler than huggingfaces. also Langchains interface for llm can also be rlly simple

Mojo’s license (with the competitive clause) discourages me from touching it. Otherwise technically a good direction.

[DiaaKasem]

when I tried looking into mojo and similar simpler rust alternatives ... I found out about Nim and V / vlang .. for me I see Nim is already there and does what mojo is going to do ! also vlang does that ( yet not python like - but very simple ! ) - both transpile first to C then to binary .. I don't really get what would mojo add to the mix

[harrynair]

I love your content - I have been trying to push Rust at workplace for long. Side note have you tried Julia ? What are your thoughts on that ?

[harrynair]

Can I actually build a production pipeline with Mojo? Would you be able to do a video on it ? The whole shebang one ? Using magic to kickstart a workspace- docker to build an image and run on kubernetes

[rasputindasilva]

Everyday a new language borns... and always better than the hinder and we leap from one to other and never get expertize in any.

Mojo is making some bad initial decisions. For example, the type of (i or s) where i is an Int and s is a String is String, and it silently converts. Silent conversions have caused so many bugs in C. Instead the type should be (Int | String).
