How license will evolve is unclear. I personally don't mind it starting closed to figure out a contribution model or whatever they want to sort out as long as they have clear commitment. However, the current statement for open source is so vague that I don't want to invest time on it.
- code_biologist 3y agoI think not investing time in Mojo is the currently the correct decision. If Modular decides they have a good product and would like broad community adoption, they will make the open source and licensing decisions that would support that. They're smart and I presume aware of that dynamic, so honestly I suspect they don't want a broad community just yet. Community management and language feature haggling is not worth the expense at an early for-profit company with an alpha language that needs to solve internal problems.
- WanderPanda 3y agoIsn’t the whole point that you don’t invest time in it but just switch over your python project and then optimize it in a ship of theseus manner?
- mort96 3y agoGood. It's an early alpha product. You shouldn't invest time into it. If their current licensing model prevents people from using it from anything serious, that sounds like a win.
- ayhanfuat 3y agoIt's a programming language. Just playing around to see what it is capable of means serious time investment. I wasn't planning on using it on production. Anyway, that was a feedback for the creators. I'll check back if they change the license.
