Mojo (programming language)

Uncommon card · No. 161176

Mojo is a programming language for Linux and macOS. It is a system programming language with semantics inspired by Rust such as static typing and a borrow checker, but with syntax based on Python (like Nim, Julia). It was originally intended to be a superset of Python, but this goal has been either abandoned or postponed indefinitely as of March 2026. In May 2026, Modular launched a website for the language and in August 2026 Modular released Mojo 1.0, declaring it free and open-source software. Mojo builds on the Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) compiler software framework, instead of directly on the lower level LLVM compiler framework used by languages like Julia, Swift, C++, and Rust. MLIR is a newer compiler framework that allows Mojo to exploit higher level compiler passes unavailable in LLVM alone, and allows Mojo to compile down and target more than only central processing units (CPUs), including producing code that can run on graphics processing units (GPUs), Tensor...
