My agitating prayer is that other nations (even so called US allies) will nationalise what they can (ie model weights already deployed within their jurisdictions). This is the only way to respond to a rogue US administration.
I do wonder if Mojo was a great idea just a little too late to the party. Porting ‘prototypes’ from Python to lower level languages is fairly trivial now with LLMs.
Okay so the module import thing is interesting and feels like 1) it should have been included on day one and 2) might have made Swift more viable for projects like Ladybug
Interesting no one here is discussing “Jakt”, which looks very similar in style and approach. Jakt is the language attempted by the SerenityOS team, which itself dispels the notion you can’t building something of substance from scratch without outside libraries. Jakt also implements fairly lightweight reference counting, making it memory safe. I think the potential of SerenityOS/Jakt can’t be overstated and strikes me as comparable to the excitement surrounding Linux in the early ‘90s.
