ML needs a new programming language – Interview with Chris Lattner

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.

Especially because Julia has pretty user friendly and robust GPU capabilities such as JuliaGPU and Reactant[2] among other generic-Julia-code to GPU options.

I get the impression that most of the comments in this thread don't understand what a GPU kernel is. These high-level languages like Python and Julia are not running on the kernel, they are calling into other kernels usually written in C++. The goal is different with Mojo, it says at the top of the article:

> write state of the art kernels

You don't write kernels in Julia.
