Great conversation! Chris is awesome 👊

[xthesayuri]

Just him talking for 1-2 minutes you instantly notice how sharp he is. Incredible guy.

Chris Lattner is on my very very short list of God tier programmers along with the likes of Linus Torvalds, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson. People who single handed redefined our modern world, and not by just being first or having luck (I'm looking at you Javascript), but by actually being the best at what they do and having the best ideas.

He did not answer the question on how you know when to fail. This man does not fail.

[mriz]

Chris Lattner is my role model, i really wish i can be like him someday in my career

[rookandpawn]

Wow that was a breath of fresh air to hear someone talk about the negatives of functional programming ❤

[SatvikBeri]

I love that Chris tried to give a diplomatic answer about Functional Programming and Prime demanded the insult. A-tier interviewing right there.

[danieldawson]

I love that at some points like 31:49 it looks like he's rubbing TJ's back.

In all seriousness, though, that was a great interview! I would love more content like this.

[melodyogonna]

I'm so excited for Mojo man. It's being developed very rapidly but not rapidly enough for me. Also, Chris is a prolific coder, he is building a lot of Mojo's compiler.

[Kane]

Thanks to Teej for helping to balance out the seriousness of the people in the interview.

[MrHaggyy]

Chris is not only a mighty programmer. But his communication is also awesome. Those tiny question related phrases when he thinks his answer through, as well as the rapidfire when he is asked to send it. I could listen to that man all day long.

[tomlynch]

I had seen that Jeremy Howard was interested in Mojo a while ago, but didn't pay attention then. After hearing Chris explain in this interview why Mojo exists and what makes it so good, I'm really excited about it.

[utubekade]

What a treat of a guest you have there. The take away: "Functional programming, the way it is actually defined, is dumb!". It looks good, it feels good, it ain't really that good.

[BlueGamer-qv]

One of the best content I have found on this channel. Awesome interview. Thanks for this gem.

[caldog]

He is one of those people I would give anything to sit in a room and have a conversation with him for a while. You can learn so much from people like Chris.

[gladoseus]

what a humble and nice guy. I liked him.

[blackfrog]

Chris is amazing! He is an inspiration.

[Sivet]

Damn he's was honest really fucking amazing to listen to, one of the better software talks I've seen imo.

[forthepeople]

He is where he is today not just because he's one of the best engineers to walk the planet, it's his passion, kindness and emotional intelligence as well. I received a kind and thoughtful reply from him about a project I was passionate about. Don't forget, he worked on Tesla's autopilot technology as well.

[gsnyder]

Thanks for bringing Chris on. Love this conversation. As a long time Python programmer Mojo addresses the major limitations of Python while preserving the good stuff. Very excited to see Chris and his team creating Mojo.
