First time I'm reading about Mojo. Seems like it's even more niche than Julia...

Mojo's starting point is absurdly complex. Seems very obviously doomed to me.

Julia is a very clever design, but it still never felt that pleasant to use. I think it was held back by using llvm as a JIT, and by the single-minded focus on data science. Programming languages need to be more opportunistic than that to succeed, imo.

Mojo is surfing on the AI hype, so only time will tell whether it lives to fulfill the expectation.
