Guido van Rossum on Mojo Programming Language
Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python programming language, has recently expressed his interest in a new programming language called Mojo. Mojo is a modern and expressive language that aims to make programming more efficient and enjoyable.
In a recent interview with Chris Lattner and Lex Fridman, van Rossum discussed his thoughts on Mojo and why he thinks it has the potential to be the next big thing in software development. He praised the simplicity and readability of Mojo’s syntax, which he believes will make it easier for developers to write clean and maintainable code.
Van Rossum also highlighted the importance of community involvement in the development of a new programming language. He mentioned that he has been collaborating with the creators of Mojo to provide feedback and suggestions for improving the language.
Overall, van Rossum’s endorsement of Mojo has generated a lot of buzz in the software development community. Many developers are excited to see what the future holds for this new language and are eagerly awaiting its official release.

Guest bio: Chris Lattner is a legendary software and hardware engineer, leading projects at Apple, Tesla, Google, SiFive, and Modular AI, including the development of Swift, LLVM, Clang, MLIR, CIRCT, TPUs, and Mojo.
I always love chris's language design
Well if things don't work out, Chris can always get a job as a diplomat!😂
Great communication skills!👍
They should have named it python++
Idk, I tried mojo. It significantly slowed down my python code, by about 20%. And was 600% slower than pypy. Maybe it’s good for certain things, but I think their marketing team overhyped it like crazy.
Every time Lattner has worked on language infrastructure, he has never missed. Every language ecosystem needs an evolution strategy to get better. I'm optimistic that this will be Python's "successor".
Sorry but as fo me Mojo is a girl and boy in one body. Interesting? Yes. Wanna to be – not yet.
He is lying
"So…package ported to Mojo, then a Python interface." This is why Lex is the Feynman of computer science.
Great I heard some companies are hiring with 10 + years of experience for mojo
When will be Mojo fully out? Still in 2023?
This language should obviously have been named Monty and it is an unforgivable shame that is isn’t.
This may surprise you, i still create ai in java, java 21 is so good, and future releases will be a game changer
From Pythonistas to Mojicians. I like it. Plus this has been done multiple times. Its good to move the industry forward by using better improves languages. Like:
Objective-C -> Swift
Java -> Kotlin
JavaScript -> TypeScript
C -> C++ -> (Carbon, Rust)
And now Python -> Mojo.
Mojo for the win, As soon as it is out, I will go full out on it
All my colleagues have moved away from python to golang. My friends in other companies are migrating to golang too. Too fast and easy to learn
I wish it didn't have python syntax, not a fun of those indentations
In the 1990's Microsoft was infamous for their "embrace and strangle" approach to entering new software markets with established players.
Python 4 is coming soon the game will change on u soon 🔜
No need to new Lang . We are good with py
2:21: To boldly go where no Python program has ever gone before.
