Mojo Lang… a fast futuristic Python alternative

Mojo is a new LLVM programming language designed as a superset of Python with the low-level performance of C. It is optimized to run on GPUs with CUDA and other exotic hardware for deep learning and Artificial Intelligence.

I love how fast the industry jumps on the trains and looks for Mojo devs with 10+ years of experience.... :D

[Nick.....]

I have 10 years of watching “Watch Mojo” experience, so I think I’ll apply for that job!

[olddudeification]

After working with Mojo for 10 years I can safely say that this is going to become the new standard for AI/ML development. Very exciting stuff.

[MindlessTurtle]

Crazy how much languages change over the years. C# going functional and Python adding types. Good times.

[Mojoojo]

As someone named Mojo, I see this as an absolute win 🔥

[Lolatyou]

As someone with 20 years of Mojo experience and someone who has watched the power puff girls growing up, I am excited for it's public release.

I know I will give it a shot once it is open source and stable. Getting up to 14x faster code without changing anything isn’t something to easily dismiss. Obviously, not every use case is gonna get 14x but even getting 2-5x performance improvement with little refactoring is crazy good.

[g-program-it]

great explanation, 10 years of experience for Mojo. Recruiters are so smart.

Chris Lattner is a legendary programmer, as if Swift and LLVN weren’t impressive enough already. Respect!

[auspiciouscrane]

I've always wanted Python with strict Type Checking. I think this is it. Very excited to see wyat it will be like.

[ThePowerRanger]

I love the industry is moving towards more fast and safe languages.

[ItJackL]

I have literally been dreaming of a programming language like this as a python developer...

[Mnerd]

So Mojo is like C, C++, and Python 3 have merged each other to get the performance of C/C++ and the elegant simple syntax of Python 3 or Ruby. As a computer science student I cannot wait to get my hands on Mojo who has been learning C++ and Python 3 for years.

I don't know if it will really catch on. Because the reason why python is so popular is because of its easy syntax, and since most AI libraries are written with a C backend, python just works as an interface to those functions. If i wanted to use pointers and types in python wouldn't i just use C or rust?

[DarkVortex]

Any Python++ language that was going to be faster was always going to have to do away with many of the things that made it quick and easy to use. Much of the speed of Rust/C++ etc. comes from their syntax, declared variable types, etc. I'm happy to see Rust's ownership system here though, cos that's something I'm trying to wrap my head around at the moment anyway

[lost-one]

Massive potential right there. Python really needed something like this, imo.

[YoshiyaMakina]

What a time to be alive - CAD sketcher add-on is about to become a blender feature, Godot 4's new features makes rendering more enhanced than its predecessor, toroidal propellers (despite being an old invention) are now being slowly applied in different kinds of machines, and now we have this one. :)

i have a hell of a lot of experience diving into the depths of python and i really like it a lot. but because it’s so slow i basically always shy away from starting anything that might in any way require performance in it. if this is even close to as good as it seems i might just come back to it!

[JealusJelly]

I already love how with this language you can basically find a sweet spot between performance and increased codebase complexity, definitely gonna try it once it goes opensource 🔥
