Anyone knows what Mojo is doing that Julia cannot do? I appreciate that Julia is currently limited by its ecosystem (although it does interface nicely with Python), but I don't see how Mojo is any better then.

Isn't Mojo designed for writing kernels? That's what it says at the top of the article:

> write state of the art kernels

Julia and Python are high-level languages that call other languages where the kernels exist.

No, you can write the kernels directly in Julia using KernelAbstractions.jl [1].
