Applications written in Mojo will run faster than applications built using the C programming language, making Mojo a better option for building high-performance applications, especially in the field of AI.
Modular CEO Chris Lattner emphasized the goal of building a developer ecosystem around Mojo by releasing nightly builds of the compiler, providing public CI tools, and encouraging external contributions through GitHub.
Mojo is introduced to provide Python developers with a language that uses familiar syntax while enhancing performance. It offers an alternative to NVIDIA's CUDA model for building AI applications.
Lattner stresses the importance of a programming language like Mojo not being tied to specific hardware platforms as dedicated processors evolve for AI workloads, ensuring adaptability and performance.
