Mojo is the enshitification of programming. Learning a language is too much cognitive investment for VC rugpulls. You make the entire compiler and runtime GPL or you pound sand, that has been the bar for decades. If the new cohort of programmers can’t hold the line, we’ll all suffer.

LLVM was a research project embraced by Apple to avoid GCC and anything GPL.

Apple and Google have purged most GPL stuff out of their systems, after making clang shine.
