Mojo🔥 is now open source
Mojo programming language goes open source under Apache 2 after shipping 1.0
“Mojo may or may not evolve into a full superset of Python, and it's okay if it doesn't.”
Modular's Mojo language, designed for high-performance GPU programming with Python-inspired syntax, has open-sourced its compiler and toolchain under Apache 2 alongside its 1.0 release. The project quietly abandoned its original goal of becoming a full Python superset, instead positioning itself as a distinct language optimized for GPU workloads. This matters for the AI infrastructure space as GPU programming tooling is a critical bottleneck for ML practitioners.
