-Founded by Chris Lattner, creator of the <a href="https://github.com/rtoal/ple/tree/main/swift">Swift</a> programming language, Mojo was announced fairly recently and was released in a beta format in early 2023. The mojo programming langauge uses the benefits of Python, primarily its dominant reign in aritificial intelligence, but leverages against python a nearly 100x faster experience. Whereas Python is a slow language, this new superset compounds the regular pythonic synatx with new syntax such as type declarations to fairly significantly speed up code. Furthermore, it has been developed primarily for use of GPUs and such hardware to run AI models and software, continuing Python legacy hold on machine learning and similar applications by having somewhat simplistic optimizations to scale to other hardware types. As it is fairly new, the impact of the language will be seen. However, through benchmarks alone, the language definitely appears to outperform it's counterpart and as such will likely become more prevalant in the coming years.
