Something feels so... off about this. It's a closed source product (I think? I see no where to contribute) so I can imagine the need for walling off local dev tools until they're ready for prime time, but it doesn't even seem like they are ready. They'll have you sign up before downloading some blackbox SDK that half-implements a language that they pinky-promise they won't abandon and you have no recourse to recover if they do.

If their intent is to flesh out a basic product then open things up, then I take that back, but as of right now, they seem to be pitching it as "ready to go" based on the copy here. That's a lot of trust to put with them.

Yeah, when they first announced Mojo I thought it would take a lot of wind out of Julia's sails, but I'm starting to think that's not going to be the case. Title should probably be changed to "Mojo: It's kind'a, partly here"
Yes especially because Julia has quite good Python interoperability
