New programming language Mojo is now on the Mac, bringing Python-like tools specifically for AI developers.

In 2022, he co-founded Modular AI, which is the firm behind the new Mojo.
“Mojo is a new programming language for AI developers that will grow into being a superset of Python over time,” says the company. “It already supports integrating with arbitrary Python code seamlessly and has a scalable programming model to target performance-critical systems, including accelerators (e.g. GPUs) that are pervasive in AI.”
