I didn't mention C++ at all. Was that my argument? This thread is about Python, the GIL. Mojo was brought up as a way to speed up Python code. C++ predates on C in a similar way to how Mojo predates on Python. At least C++ has extern C. https://docs.modular.com/mojo/manual/python/#call-mojo-from-python https://docs.modular.com/mojo/manual/python/#call-mojo-from-... > As shown above, you can call out to Python modules from Mojo. However, there's currently no way to do the reverse—import Mojo modules from Python or call Mojo functions from Python. One way street. Classic commons harvesting.

I think the person you're replying to is just trying to use an analogous example; you didn't need to bring it up. Regardless, I think it's a bit alarmist and overly aggressive to assume nefarious intent. Have the developers acted in ways such that this reputation is deserved? Also, little OT, but it took me unreasonably long to understand that you meant "predates" as the verb form of "predator", not as in "comes before chronologically". The phrase "preys on" may be more clear.

  They aren't just trying to bring up an analogous example. It derails the discussion, it is a rhetorical device that has no bearing on the conversation at hand. > Regardless, I think it's a bit alarmist and overly aggressive to assume nefarious intent. You can think those things. You can try and color my points using whatever language you want. That doesn't make it true, you are putting words in my mouth about "nefarious intent". Mojo is taking Python programmers and their programs out of the Python ecosystem and bring them into their ecosystem. Thanks for the splaining about predates, I'll continue to use it. Mojo is definitely 'taking booty' from Python.
