> At the end of the day, mojo's pay to play programming language harkens back to the early 90's Borland days.

I didn’t address this in my other post. Modular is about to release a freely available SDK. Also, the standard library sources will be open sourced shortly. There are hints of additional open source initiatives.

Modular’s main business plan appears to be adding value in the general area of AI, AI training, and AI deployment, including by offering SAAS. That plan in no way conflicts with (and in fact encourages) an open Mojo language ecosystem.

that is good to hear. I read a post on Mojo months ago, signed up to the waitlist and then crickets. It would seem insane to think a non-open source, non-free compiler/interpreter could be successful these days.
