►Lesson Description: In this lesson we take a look at Mojo, a new language targetted for Artificial Intelligence programmers. The Mojo programming language is designed by Chris Lattner (LLVM and Swift being other notable projects), and looks very promising as a language that folks can write all their code in (i.e. Write all CPU and GPU code in one single language). The Mojo language also has mechanisms for memory safety (borrow checker inspired by Rust) and meta programming (like DLang and Zig) which makes it a modern language. I'm very curious to see how this language develops over time, and we'll be sure to keep an eye on it! As always, let me know what resources/tools I missed that others should know about in the comments below!

If a *Polyglot* is an expert in several spoken languages does that mean an expert in several graphical programming languages is a *Polygon* ?

[@MikeShah]

Indeed! 🤣

36:52 On Ubuntu, you can ctrl+shift+u and type in the unicode character code point then press enter to display the character

@@cyrilemeka6987 very handy -- cheers!

[@bsdooby]

Maybe we see the emergence of languages mainly used for implementing the models (C++), and languages better suited for inferencing (DSL)...

[@MikeShah]

Could be -- I wonder if native/app development will become more like web dev, where there are many languages+frameworks involved at any given time.😅

[@bsdooby]

@@MikeShah puh; TBH: I hope not…

[@MikeShah]

@@bsdooby Me also -- already plenty to keep track of :)

[@raszagal1000]

if you do :set paste you wont lose indentation when pasting into vim :)

[@MikeShah]

Probably should have that in my .vimrc by now 😅

[@raszagal1000]

​@@MikeShah hahah, I prefer remapping as follows. map y "*y map d "*ygvd map p "*p Then you can yank to the system clipboard with y and paste with p :)

The next variant of Mojo will be called 'Randy'. My obscure reference to Austin Powers for today.

[@MikeShah]

😂 still hoping for Austin Powers 4 someday 😂

I will pass. In fact, I started my own language that is 'Mojo' but for Ruby and Crystal, but for systems programming. That said, I am hungry and I need something to listen to lol. I sort of see Mojo as Chris's weird middle, compiler age phase. I love Swift and I like Python, but I struggle to see it being a programming language other then for production grade server applications that need to interop with Python. ... *hides my .net and c inspired programming languages away* That isn't done yet. Don't make me lose my Mojo please.

[@MikeShah]

Sounds like you have a cool project! Yes, Mojo is interesting and a very young language, so will be interesting to see how folks adopt it.
