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.

The FAQ answers: "Is the Mojo Playground still available?" by pointing me to the playground, but, the playground itself says "Playground will be removed with the next release of 25.6"

As a FAQ answer to "is this available?" pointing me to a thing which says it will be removed at some unspecified point sort of misses the point. I guess maybe the answer is "Not for long" ?

Thanks, we'll update that. We shifted to putting Mojo into Compiler Explorer rather than having our own similar-but-different thing.

That's a great idea. Matt is a great guy but also there's so much stuff in Compiler Explorer unrelated to the particulars of a programming language and you get to leverage all of that by just being there next to everything else.

I don't think Mojo is a big part of my future, but I've been wrong before and being in Compiler Explorer can't hurt you.
