Python is the dominant language for AI and data science applications, but it lacks the performance and low-level control needed to fully leverage GPU hardware. Mojo is being developed by Chris Lattner, a renowned systems engineer known for his seminal contributions to computer science, including LLVM, the Clang compiler, and the Swift programming language. In this episode, he joins the show to discuss his engineering journey and his current work on AI infrastructure and the Mojo language.
