Even though the front page says "Unofficial and not affiliated with Modular or Mojo", this reads very much like an advertisement, especially since the author is anonymous and is invested in the language so much that they started a "mojo dojo" site for a brand new language.

  My two favourite phrases that were totally not written by a bad PR team: > Each time a blog post or video is shared the Mojo team respond to it with enthusiasm, which engages the creator as they become more involved with the community. > Syntax debates have already begun, which have surprisingly been met with a high level of maturity, once a decision is made the bike-shedding has ceased.

    Thanks for the feedback, on reading back the blog post it did read a bit like a "bad PR team", I've rewritten the article hopefully it's better :)

For every new technology there are hundreds of previously unknown tech blogger/influencer/entrepreneurs trying to cache in. Imo it would be more pleasent if their content had more depth. At least this one had more compated to the x/10 twitter threads about promt engineering or graph databases.

It is a bit weird how there's no credited author of this - as far as I can tell the posts are written by https://github.com/mojodojodev https://github.com/mojodojodev - but they still represent opinions in terms of things like "My only criticism on the launch would be". Adding an author name would definitely help out with credibility here.
