Why Mojo 🔥

The following are some of the major reasons why Mojo:

• The Birth of a Revolutionary Programming Language: When Team Modular initially embarked on the Modular project, their primary goal wasn’t to create a new programming language. However, as they developed the platform to bring together the global infrastructure for machine learning and artificial intelligence, they encountered the complexity of programming across the entire stack. Additionally, they found themselves manually writing a significant amount of Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR), which was quite a challenging task.
• The Need for Innovation and Scalability: What Team Modular sought was an…
