I'm pretty excited about Mojo and have been keeping an eye on it's development. I feel like the team has learned a lot from their experience, and are taking the best from languages like Python, Rust, Swift, Hylo (Formerly known as Val), and are taking a really nice pragmatic approach in implementing them so that the language is approachable, but also very safe and fast. Once it's out, I hope someone sits down and makes a SwiftUI-like cross platform UI library with it ;).

Yeah, I've been following and am interested too.

Actually more interested in things like UIs, quick API servers, stuff like that than the AI/ML use cases. The idea of most of the ease and approachability of Python, a proper type system, and access to the entire ecosystem of Python libs in a compiled language is pretty compelling.

I agree, I'm excited to use it as a General Purpose language, and see how far the Autotuning feature can go for just normal old apps and servers.
