Mojo seems like a very promising solution, despite it being AI oriented. Lex Friedman had a great podcast with the founder, its first version was released about a month ago, and in two weeks got 10k discord users. A superset of python that, once finished, can run all native python code, but also adds language features to get closer to the “metal”, getting speeds of C libraries with the ability to properly debug and step through it. If this project goes the way it’s promised (the guy has great experience with language development), this could further cement python as it would solve its biggest criticisms. Very excited for it [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK]
