Edit: No it is still not open source. There are still same promises of open sourcing eventually, but there is no source despite the URL and the website claiming it's an open language. What's "open" here is "MAX AI kernels", not Mojo. They refer to this as "750k lines of open source code" https://github.com/modular/modular/tree/main/max/kernels
This feels icky to me.
Due to the closed source nature, every mojo announcement I see I think "whatever, next"
If the actual intent is to open-source, just do it, dump out whatever you have into a repo, call it 'beta'
Static python can transpile to mojo. I haven't seen an argument on what concepts can only be expressed in mojo and not static python?
Borrow checker? For sure. But I'm not convinced most people need it.
Mojo therefore is a great intermediate programming language to transpile to. Same level of abstraction as golang and rust.
Last commit was 9 years ago though, so targets Python 2.7.
"Python to rust transpiler" -> pyrs (py2many is a successor) "Python to go transpiler" -> pytago
Grumpy was written around a time when people thought golang would replace python. Google stopped supporting it a decade ago.
Even the 2022 project by a high school student got more SEO
