Thank you for all the great interest in the podcast and in Mojo. If you're interested in learning more, Mojo has a FAQ that covers many topics (including "why not make Julia better" :-) here: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq/

Mojo also has a bunch of documentation https://docs.modular.com/mojo/ as well as hundreds of thousands of lines of open source code you can check out: https://github.com/modular/modular

The Mojo community is really great, please consider joining, either our discourse forum: https://forum.modular.com/ or discord https://discord.com/invite/modular chat.

Hey Chris, great to see you here. Still waiting for my hefty kickstart of Light Table to pay off, any updates there?

(for real though, this looks cool; what kinds of longevity should we expect from such a project - how can we be sure?)

Light Table is by Chris Granger. This is Chris Lattner who previously created Swift

I think LLVM is more monumental than Swift personally.

LLVM, MLIR, Clang, Swift, and now Mojo.

He had quite a long and distinguished career when it comes to open sourced compiler tech.
