At first, I was a bit skeptical of the new Modular's language.

Having no binaries available (only a playground), and a long history of contenders such as or Pyston that never achieved full compatibility... was a huge turnoff.

The amount of Python compilers that never reach 100% compatibility is almost hilarious.

Having seen the tremendous amount of effort behind , and how little is its community compared to Python's... adds on top of that.

But now we finally have binaries https://www.modular.com/blog/mojo-its-finally-here

And it seems that this time they are taking compatibility seriously. It's "simple": they keep using CPython to load an run .py files

@jedie You are right. No open source license yet :( .

And while they support Python code, on the "pure" Mojo side there are still too many rough edges https://docs.modular.com/mojo/roadmap.html#sharp-edges
