In this episode we explore why Mojo was created, and what it offers to Python programmers and non-Python programmers alike. How is it built for performance, and which performance features matter? What’s its take on functional programming and type systems? And can it marry the high-level programming of Python with the low-level programming of LLVM/MLIR?

If you’re a Python programmer who needs better performance, a C programmer who expects more from a ‘scripting language’, or just someone who’d be happier if Python had a first-class type system, Mojo might well be for you…
