I think Mojo's cool and there's definitely a place for a modern applications programming language with C++ class(ish) performance, aka what Swift wanted to be but got trapped in the Apple ecosystem (designed by the same person as Mojo).

The strong AI focus seems to be a sign of the times, and not actually something that makes sense imo.

Are you sure about that? I think Mojo was always talked about as "The language for ML/AI", but I'm unsure if Mojo was announced before the current hype-cycle, must be 2-3 years at this point right?
