I have an application usecase where this will be very helpful indeed.

Did you finish the video? It has CI, but I don't know if they implemented merge gating. Though I suppose that could be part of the land skill

You could also use Mojo, one language for all targets.

Why?

I'm going to give this a try because I once also tried to make a slick GUI ide with Vim key bindings. Unfortunately I was trying to use Rust then, of which I had no experience, while trying to write a desktop app, of which I also had n

When you see seemingly simple products have too many engineers, most are almost always there to cater for enterprise customers.

The thing is, you can only program what is programmable. If a CPU has some capability that isn't programmable, I don't know what C or any other language is expected to do.

Well, C does give you the control when it matters, even if they feel bolted on for more modern features. I actually believe Mojo is the only modern language not designed to pretend every computer is a PDP-11. C has been so successful that m

Uber was never really in Nigeria much, despite apparently being here a long time. I use ride-hailing a lot, and I've never used it because it is not available in my state, or in most states, for that matter.

I wouldn't say they suck, but they're general-purpose. Anyway, you've gotten into the core of what makes Modular's stack useful. GPUs are great, but it has become obvious that they leave performance on the table, so dedi

It is still a goal. Mojo's semantics are still driven by Pythons, and can only deviate where safety or performance is an issue. Eventually it'll get the dynamic parts of Python

Mojo's concurrency model is yet to be figured out.

I think people underestimate the fact that Nvidia's GPUs are really good. Modular/Qualcomm's stack will provide a lot more optionality, but from what I saw in the Modcon conference on Tuesday, most of the target audience is t

How I wish people will stop spamming me with this garbage, or at least do some basic research first; C/C++ are not lower-level than Mojo, in fact, a core semantic of Mojo is that the programmer is as explicit as possible while defining

Yeah exactly. Rust could also be thought of as a much better C++ (semantically) but syntatically it is much more functional, while Mojo adopts (and even extends) similar memory safety ideas but dressed in a skin that is potentially much mor

If you like C++, you're going to like Mojo (if you're looking for alternatives). Some of the semantics and designs are inspired by C++, but wrapped in a Python-like skin. The way to think about Mojo, when compared to Rust, is that

One of my favourite features of Mojo is linear types and how deeply they have been integrated into manual memory management - see: https://x.com/melodyogonna/status/2085089269484343725?s=20 . When I first learned ab

I don't understand this premise. And the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. On the grand scale of things, Windows is the niche platform here. For consumer desktop use cases, it is king, but nobody deploys on it for the use

Such an exciting time for Mojo, I don't think people realize just yet the innovation being brought to fore here.

I don't use Cursor, I use Grok.

by melodyogonna 3mo ago
Grok has started competing with frontier models on coding thanks to Cursor's data, with SpaceX's massive compute they can undercut competition on price, which makes the offering real appealing. I've now switched to Grok 4.6,

Not really the point of the post, but there is a third memory allocation paradigm where you can do manual allocations and deallocations, but without the mental overhead of having to remember to free memory because the compiler will force yo
