not everyone cares about playing voldemort
I remember when defcon ctf would play Geohot's PlayStation rap video every year on the wall.
Time will tell.
History has not so far been kind to projects which attempt to supplant cPython, whether they are other Python variants such as PyPy, or other languages such as julia.
Python has a lot of detractors, but (despite some huge missteps with the 2-3 transition) the core team keeps churning out stuff that people want to use.
Mojo is being positioned "as a member of the Python family" but, like Pyrex/Cython, it has special syntax, and even worse, the calling convention is both different than Python, and depends on the type of variable being passed. And the introspection is completely missing.
What is the status of the project? What can it do? What has it achieved in 5 years?
But no, let's highlight how we follow the "Elon process".
As a side note, whenever someone incessantly focuses on lines of code as a metric (in either direction), I immediately start to take them less seriously.
"When we can reproduce a common set of papers on 1 NVIDIA GPU 2x faster than PyTorch. We also want the speed to be good on the M1. ETA, Q2 next year."
I find this organizational structure compelling, probably the closest to reaching 100% productivity in a week as you can get.
