I am sure the language is capable, but if you search "mojo python" then the top hit is https://www.modular.com/mojo https://www.modular.com/mojo where the first line on the page talks about AI inference and the first code example seems to be referencing ML models or something completely unrelated to the everyday Python programming that people outside of the data science field do.
Alternatively if you try to search for the Github repo for Mojo, you end up here: https://github.com/modular/modular https://github.com/modular/modular Which is all about control planes and k8s and AI something something. Sure, it seems this is just a monorepo under which one of the folders actually is Mojo itself, but this packaging does not inspire confidence that the creators of the language are interested in building a language that exists outside of their ecosystem.
- melodyogonna 1y agoThat is because the language is really just in alpha, not open-source yet, and not much useful for anything except GPU kernel programming. In the future that will change, Modular is aiming to get it ready for open-source by Q4 2026. By then it'll have full Python interop, so you can use existing Python packages in Mojo. Unlike Rust/Julia, Mojo does not have to bootstrap a community and ecosystem from scratch.
