More of a question of /will/ Mojo eventually be entirely open source, chunks of it already are. The intent from Modular is eventually it will be, just not everything all at once and not whilst they're internally doing loads of dev for their own commercial entity. Which seems fair enough to me. Importantly they have open sourced lots of the stdlib which is probably what anyone external would contribute to or want to change anyway? https://www.modular.com/blog/the-next-big-step-in-mojo-open-source https://www.modular.com/blog/the-next-big-step-in-mojo-open-...
- _aavaa_ 1y agoWhen it has become open source I will consider building up expertise and a product on it. Until it has happened there are no guarantees that it will.
- Ulti 1y agoWell the "expertise" is mostly just Python thats sort of the value prop. But yeah building an actual AI product ontop I'd be more worried about the early stage nature of Modular rather than the implementation is closed source.
- _aavaa_ 1y agoSure, that’s the value prop of numba too. But reality is different.
- fluidcruft 1y agoBuilding on vapor carries a lot of risk. For all anyone knows they take a page from Mathworks and it winds up costing $20k+/year/license if you aren't an academic.
