> something like the expressiveness of Python combined with the speed and safety of Rust.

Isn't that problem already solved? We already have Nim[0] that is memory-safe language with Python-esque syntax and performance of C. Yeah, it's not an extension of Python as Mojo claims to be; but I'd pick a mature language with proven design for my projects over something that's not even out yet.

Nim is not memory safe and doesn't technically claim to be. What they claim is to provide memory safe features, but then so does C++ and a lot of other languages.
I didn't understand what you meant. Nim has GC by default. It does support pointers, but then Rust does too.
