Discover the future of software from the people making it happen.Listen to some of the smartest developers we know talk about what they're working on, how they're trying to move the industry forward, and what you can learn from it. You might find the solution to your next architectural headache, pick up a new programming language, or just hear some good war stories from the frontline of technology.Join your host Kris Jenkins as we try to figure out what tomorrow's computing will look like the best way we know how - by listening directly to the developers' voices.
Mojo Lang - Tomorrow's High Performance Python? (with Chris Lattner)
Mojo is the latest language from the creator of Swift and LLVM. It’s an attempt to take some of the best techniques from CPU/GPU-level programming and package them up in a Python-compatible syntax.
In this episode we explore why Mojo was created, and what it offers to Python programmers and non-Python programmers alike. How is it built for performance, and which performance features matter? What’s its take on functional programming and type systems? And can it marry the high-level programming of Python with the low-level programming of LLVM/MLIR?
If you’re a Python programmer who needs better performance, a C programmer who expects more from a ‘scripting language’, or just someone who’d be happier if Python had a first-class type system, Mojo might well be for you…
