So the classic question, if Mojo does not have a GC and does similar Rust-like memory management, is it a systems language? I know it was made for AI, but could it be a rival to rust/C++ in general? Seems like it could replace either of those.

It seems that this language is deeply integrated with CPython, so I doubt if it can be used as a low level language alone. If yes, they probably need to disable a bunch of things. Also, it is still WIP so I am not sure how things like type works in this language, whether or not it support parameterized lifetime, reference counted objects, union type, closure, etc. Currently, they seems to be focusing on numerical applications, targeting the AI crowd, so it is uncertain how things will go later.
