Yeah, except Mojo’s license is a non-starter.

To my naive mind, any language that is controlled by a single company instead of a non profit is a non-starter. Just look at how many companies reacted when Java license change happened. You must be either an idiot or way too smart for me to understand to base your business on a language like Mojo instead of Python.

You don't really have a choice, and the alternatives are worse. Plus, it's not the same question as choosing a language -- this is more about choosing hardware vendor their SDK where options could be either plenty or very limited depending on what you work on.
