Hold up... did I miss something, is Mojo open sourced now?

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.

The compiler will be open-sourced in a few months.

At this point, it might be moot. Too many people are assuming it's still a closed-source thing and will dismiss it.

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'

There is a question of what benefit would it bring even if its open sourced?

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.
