Jamie Coombes
Description:
On 2023-05-02, the tech world was abuzz with the launch of Mojo 🔥, a new programming language by Chris Lattner. Jamie Coombes, a Machine Learning Engineer, offers insights into Mojo's journey and its promise as "Python's faster cousin." The talk evaluates Mojo's performance, usability, and potential as a Python superset in the AI landscape. Against alternatives like Rust and PyPy, the critical question arises - can Mojo carve out its niche or fade into obscurity? With a background in Python and PyTorch, Jamie delves into the practical experiences of developing a Large Language Model Interpretation library using Mojo. The presentation navigates Mojo's evolution, from conception to its capacity to disrupt the programming ecosystem, especially in AI and ML domains. Attendees can expect to gain a candid understanding of Mojo's strengths, performance claims, and the likelihood of its adoption in AI development. The talk will explore Mojo's syntax, draw comparisons with Python, and feature a case study detailing the challenges and breakthroughs of working with Mojo. The audience will be engaged in discussions about Mojo's future, its fit in existing projects, and its potential to become the primary language for AI development. A prediction on Mojo's trajectory will round up the talk, setting the stage for its triumph or potential obscurity in programming language history.
