Is Mojo programming language just a hype?
summary
Mojo claims to be a practical successor for heavy compute workloads rather than mere hype: born at Modular because teams were tired of hand-writing MLIR kernels and announced by Chris Lattner and Jeremy Howard. It presents as a superset of Python with progressive complexity, lets systems techniques like SIMD and data‑oriented design be expressed in the same language, shows an example of a prefix‑sum made 8× faster with SIMD, and already runs on CPUs with work underway for GPUs*, reaching TIOBE #48.
