I think I would agree with you. In my opinion, that already exists and is decently mature. CuPy [0] for Python and CUDA.jl [1] for Julia are both excellent ways to interface with GPU that don't require you to get into the nitty gritty

As someone who has been playing around with (and enjoying) Mojo, I have my doubts about how useful Mojo will end up being for your average scientist. You can't get performant code out of Mojo if you're not willing to learn some de

One thing that concerns me so far is that nothing put out by Mojo or said by any of the Modular leaders indicates that the language itself will ever be open sourced. The Mojo FAQ says: "Over time we expect to open-source core parts of

There's not a strong reason to use Mojo over cython right now, but if Mojo can deliver on their claims, I think there will be. A borrow checker, better IDE support, function overloading support, and better SIMD support are things that

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

I'm really interested in Mojo not for its AI applications, but as an alternative to Julia for high performance computing. Like Julia, Mojo is also attempting to solve the two-language problem, but I like that Mojo is coming at it from

If you can use LLM's to translate your code from one language to another, why would you translate Python to Julia? Even the most ardent Julia supporters will admit that Julia code will be slower than optimized C and C++ code. Why not j

Everytime Julia is mentioned on HN, I see a surprising amount of people who dislike the language for whatever reason. I understand a lot of their concerns (time to first plot, debugging sucks, IDE support isn't amazing yet). However, I
