I am really rooting for Mojo. I love what the language is trying to do, and making it easier to run SOTA AI workloads on hardware that isn't Nvidia + CUDA will open up all kinds of possibilities.

I'm just nervous how much VC funding they've raised and what kind of impacts that could have on their business model as they mature.

If they can manage to make good on their plans to open-source it, I'll breathe a tentative sigh of relief. I'm also rooting for them, but until they're open-source, I'm not willing to invest my own time into their ecosystem.
They already released their code under the Apache 2.0 license. Not everything in their stack is open source but the core things appear to be open source.
Their compiler is not open source. They only released stdlib code.
