Next month on dev job listings: Requirements: 3-5 years of Mojo development experience

[@techgear1803]

🤣🤣🤣

[@spartan_j117]

10 actually.

[@marinemanga9875]

More like requires that you're the one who created Mojo🤣

[@clarencejones4717]

I'm shocked that there isn't a Fireship video about this already.

I think fireship is somehow involved with mojo already, that's why the file extension is 🔥

[@junealexissantos4341]

Hearing the words 'python' and 'fast' together was like an indication that we embarked on the next chapter.

[@Little-bird-told-me]

_Wherever Chris Lattner goes, _*_innovation_*_ follows_ !

[@onuryes]

I'm extremely excited! They seem to be addressing nearly all the challenges related to developing and deploying AI systems.

[@Chessmasteroo]

It was the Jeremy Howard's demo that blew me away. Can't wait to try it out.

[@adrianstanciu3988]

Great presentation! Ever since I saw your announcement of the event a few weeks back, I have been looking forward to learning more about your approach. If someone can pull off blending the simplicity and elegance of Python with the raw performance and control of a system language, it can only be the creator of LLVM and Swift. My money is on Chris Lattner for sure. I am very exited to get my hands on a toolchain for a local development machine. Best of luck!

[@arjunsahlot]

Amazing product! Good luck on the launch!

[@arieheinrich3457]

Absolutly Fantastic !! Very exciting to also see training coming later this year.

[@FrozzenFreak]

This is insane. People will look back to this as a start of something huge.

[@l_combo]

that depends if it is free and open source or proprietry....

[@netscrooge]

It's only May, and we've already had several huge announcements this year. Maybe we should reset the calendar and make this year 1 A.I.E., the first year of the AI era.

[@thavrisco1632]

@@l_combo It will be open source.

[@abdulbary3668]

I will start today . Everything created by Chris Lattner is great.

[@hilmiterzi3847]

THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU!!!

[@fhools]

This video needs way more than 10K views. Looks absolutely amazing. Python compatibility with rust safety and performance and beyond? Holy moly!

[@vectoralphaSec]

Better performance than Rust, C and C++

[@sampatkalyan3103]

This is a great product launch. Very exciting. Hope I get my early access soon.

[@DataPastor]

This is awesome. Miracles do happen!

[@deordered.]

from an ex senior branding designer, AI computer vision specialist ATM, on both fronts, this is the definition excellence!

[@itunj_now]

This looks like a game-changer to me. Looking forward to using this.

[@Jared-Pace]

Simply incredible 🎉

[@hoareg2]

Impressive, keep up great works! On an unrelated note, I think Chris deserves a Turing award for his work on LLVM.

[@_____case]

I'm sure he'll get it.

[@aqdasak]

The language of my dreams is about to become a reality 🔥

[@NumairMansur]

This is insane. Why is everyone not talking about this?

[@californiaesnuestra]

Everybody is talking about it now. hN

[@oeerturk]

cuz its released today

[@fontende]

They deleting comments even here, how to discuss 😅

[@heroe1486]

Because nothing will replace python in this field

[@modularinc]

Thanks Numair! We're really excited about the future 🔥We're building for everyone. And no - we aren't deleting any comments. Come chat with us in discord.gg/modular or read our docs docs.modular.com/

[@nicolasmaldonado1428]

I just started my AI journey, and this makes my eyes water with excited 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (my new favorite emoji)

[@robertregmi01]

Amazing Product!

[@dipadityadas]

I am Super Excited.

[@spyral00]

great stuff! I wish you the best and will try it as soon as I get a hand on it.

[@Red487239]

Lex Fridman should do you round 3 with Chris Lattner on this and all things AI

[@HAMunna-db7zu]

Amazing product chris ❤

[@Mr.Denmark]

Signed up for the wait-list 🙏🏻

[@fasogoss]

This looks better than an Apple new product release. Everyone looks like a Superstar in their Intro lol. Make me want to join Modular!

[@atabac]

Bravo!

[@codeVictor]

Woah... This slides are God-tier

[@aghileslounis]

This is the language of the future for AI programming. Maybe even more!

[@zualfiqaraljanzir400]

Ok I am soooo excited !!!! let's do it !!! 😍🤩

[@abbass_almusawi]

Yes dude, that's what we need, SPEED 🔥

[@paressh]

Goosebumps!!

[@oeerturk]

looks like 2023s Julia experiment mlir instead of llvm ir. no multiple dispatch. easier borrow checker?? aligned on todays standards/python. exciting, would like to know more about its internals

[@flatmapper]

Brilliant presentation!

[@karanyuvrajsingh4911]

This is amazing!

[@riponsaha8320]

Wow! Can't wait to try it out.

[@Skandar0007]

Feels good to be early to learn about this 😊

[@laszloszoke18]

Mojo arrived; I've been waiting.

[@reechr]

Solid launch

[@wilhoit]

Someone has got to ask! 🤔 Does Modular / Mojo work with the M1 / M2 GPUs in the MacBook Pros?

[@blendtothemax8761]

Mark my words: This is gonna change the world. Like fr

[@heroe1486]

Yes like coffeescript with JS

[@Lemon-lp1qb]

@@heroe1486 but coffeescript wasn't 35000x faster than python with memory safety and c like performance. So, just maybe it will.

[@bkoc]

🔥

[@imbesrs]

Very apple style presentation. Looks promising

[@erickheredia8910]

Python was my gateway to programming. If Mojo will be a superset for Python, like TS is to JS, then I'm all in. I'm loving Swift, so this new language will be fun and powerful for AI. Man, Julia didn't have a break, is it?

[@zasta7]

I personally wanted them to make a comparison with Julia as well, along with Python and C++.

[@kasvith]

Wow this is dope

[@avijitdey992]

great. didn't understand most of it but great

[@iftikhar3731]

Chris Lattner, Tim Davis, and the Modular team have done an incredible job of creating a platform that will revolutionize the way we develop AI 🔥. Modular's unified inference engine, hardware portability, and new programming language, Mojo, are all game-changers 🚀. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Modular and the future of AI development 🤖.

[@flatmapper]

The quality of the presentation is better than Apple's)!

[@vijaysinghbisht3016]

Wow.. If it can scale and guarantees memory safety out of box then this is going to be fun.

[@fxtech-art8242]

Awesomw !!!

[@sirinath]

Can you use the engine to accelerate normal non AI general purpose workloads including but not limited to numeric models, linear algebra, etc.

[@warmventures52]

bring it on Modular team!

[@RobertLugg]

I just signed up for the playground. I’m curious of the semantics. It looks like they have an intertwine of Python an their extensions. I didn’t like that their performance numbers were compared to Python loops but I’m sure their performance will be good.

[@user-qk4ey3qt8q]

YES

[@itsRemco]

This is going to be revolutionary. I think that MOJO will flourish in 2025.

[@didiervandendaele4036]

Before ! Already this year in 2023 😮 😊

[@BigBrother4Life]

These guys will get the 'Turing prize'.

[@omeletw533]

🔥🔥🔥

[@apivovarov2]

what is the matmul speedup in comparison to popular Linear Algebra packages? numpy, cutlass, jax/xla

[@rannickcauthon1821]

Python already most performant during development with low overhead and easy to read now also fastest during runtime😍 brilliant! 🙏🏻

[@satriomuhammad8380]

As I wrote this, Mojo just launched since 1 month ago. I bet HR now be like "Fluent in Mojo for minimum 5 years".

[@P-G-77]

Another fantastic project... I'm very curious to try.

[@deniyii]

Yo 😮 this is crazy

[@DonjiKong]

Could you run an arduino entirely with mojo like rust can?

[@shaunbabar]

great

[@apivovarov2]

does it use cuda, or works with cuda cores/tensor cores directly without cuda?

[@Jason-eo7xo]

The Singularity is VERY NEAR! 😮

[@user-lb8du4dl3o]

As a hardcore Pythonista, i would give a warm welcome to mojo! the name is weird, but if mojo delivers python with the things i like in Rust and Swift, then deal, i am in! Hope to meet mojo sooner than later, I have nice projects to start with!

[@LettingLove]

What is the name of the song at 30:40?

[@sirinath]

Can Mojo syntax be up streamed to Python so that the languages do not get incompatible divergences.

Most challenging part will be creating community because most python user like code simplicity but if you want to access x100 speed that mojo shows you need to like little bit intimidating code

[@shennanwong928]

How did they do those slides?!

[@AnweshAdhikari]

❤️

[@GPWRD]

Great

[@nissanGold]

Loving this but what about embedded?

[@birdbeakbeardneck3617]

Can someone explain the difference between mojo and cpytyon other than ai interop stuff?

[@sampathkovvali6255]

Heck ya ❤, but you don't open source do you?

[@sirinath]

Also double down on Metaprogramming aspects so domain specific languages can be create with Mojo be one dialect.

[@sirinath]

Can can engine and Mojo be open sourced also under permissive license?

[@smthngsmthngsmthngdarkside]

But can it centre a div?

[@irfnrdh]

tak sabar

[@falklumo]

Nice effort, but only if the Mojo compiler is open source and supported by IntelliJ and VSCode.

[@tylerkemp5467]

Can this integrate with warehouses like Databricks or Snowflake? Or does this replace the AI work done in those ecosystems?

[@marinelaprofi4780]

What is the relationship between Modular (the platform) and Mojo (the language)?

[@vasiovasio]

Thank God, Steve Jobs Invent this type of Presentation Style and now Everyone can be Fancy! ;)

[@HostileRespite]

Soon as you can provide native support for windows, this might actually take off.

[@anilaxsus6376]

is there a specific date where mojo is scheduled to be public.

[@mr.daniish]

My ass is on fire 🔥 this is a new beginning for the AI era.

[@ShivanshKaran]

So what is the file extension?

[@Lemon-lp1qb]

🔥

[@abdellahcodes]

maybe mj?

[@modularinc]

It's both .mojo and .🔥 - you can read more here docs.modular.com/mojo/programming-manual.html#using-the-mojo-compiler

@@modularinc awesome. I have already posted it on my linkedin

[@abdellahcodes]

@@modularinc that's lit 😅

[@anabasis3144]

Me: “I guess I am going to have to fork crablang.” Chris Lattner: “Hold my beer….”

[@worldanime9884]

Will mojo be used to develop websites in the future?

[@Cygx]

If they truly deliver, even just half of what they say, this is HuGE

[@spartan_j117]

The Fireship led me here

[@abrahimzaman360]

What does Cost Saving? So Less People in Office

[@dempseydeclerck2911]

🥳😀

[@bigtymer4862]

Mojo looks like a mix of Python and Zig

[@Kersich86]

how much will i have to pay for it?
