> Mojo is a proper superset of Python.

Isn't it more that the plan is someday Mojo may be a proper superset of Python, but right now it is far from it? I just tried opening up the Mojo playground, copy/pasted the very first little example function from the official Python tutorial (see https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#defining...) and Mojo outputs a bunch of errors.

With Cython, our goal was to make it a proper superset of Python, and it was really difficult, but we got close.
