Mojo's Python Revamp: AI-Ready
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Slashdot

Computer scientist Chris Lattner is developing a new language called Mojo, aiming to combine the ease of use of Python with the performance of more complex languages like C++ or Rust. Mojo is designed to address the inefficiencies of Python in running AI processes and offers faster execution across multiple hardware platforms. It unifies the AI programming stack by providing a language with Python syntax that can run up to 35,000 times faster, particularly excelling in matrix multiplications used in neural networks. Mojo is a superset of Python, allowing existing Python code to run faster with added features like threads and static typing. While still in its early stages, Mojo has garnered interest from Python creator Guido van Rossum.
