I'm not willing to make an account either, I'm too scared what Modular will do with my data for privacy reasons, especially seeing that giant Google sign in button. Hopefully, someone will and sign up so that we know Modular intends to do with our data once they collect it.

I bit the bullet. After singing in via google, its just a page with instructions on installing the Mojo SDK. Nothing about pricing but on their FAQ section they do talk about the telemetry data they collect and how to disable it https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#does-the-mojo-sdk-collect-telemetry https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#does-the-mojo-sdk-col...

With all due respect - scared of what? I'm genuinely curious what you're worried about. Can you give me some real world examples of a possible negative repercussion from signing up? I haven't signed up. I don't have an account, just been a curious lurker for the Mojo thing over the past couple of months.

Hi, thanks for your interest! You can opt out of telemetry if you like. Please see the FAQ here: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#does-the-mojo-sdk-collect-telemetry https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#does-the-mojo-sdk-col... For open sourcing, we also have a section in our FAQ: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#open-source https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq.html#open-source, and we answered a question about that in the latest livestream! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQh9es5gfpo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQh9es5gfpo For the question on pricing, the Mojo SDK is free to use.

  Soo maybe some "core" "parts" might be open sourced some time. Hard pass.

  0:16 from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQh9es5gfpo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQh9es5gfpo, says "we'll be open sourcing documentation"... by the end of the year. Documentation? It will have taken a full year to open source documentation. Congrats.

    That's disingenuous. They are also open sourcing the standard library by the end of the year.
