- Modular, an AI startup, has introduced a programming language called Mojo, which aims to combine the usability of Python with the speed of C.
- Mojo distinguishes itself by claiming to be 35,000 times faster than Python for numeric algorithms like Mandelbrot, thanks to hardware acceleration.
- CEO Chris Lattner, known for his work at Apple, Google, and Tesla, brings extensive experience in compiler development.
- Mojo is built on next-generation compiler technologies and offers performance gains, zero-cost abstractions, memory safety, autotuning, and compile-time metaprogramming capabilities.
- The language is still in development, but it aims to be a superset of Python and address the challenges of deploying machine learning applications.
