'''Mojo''' is a [[programming language]] in the [[Python (programming language)|Python]] family that is currently under development.<ref name="MojoProgrammingManual_(2023)">{{cite web |url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/programming-manual.html |title=
Mojo builds on the Multi-Level Intermediate Representation ([[MLIR (software)|MLIR]]) compiler [[software framework]], instead of directly on the lower level [[LLVM]] compiler framework like many languages such as [[Julia (programming language)|Julia]], [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]], [[C++]], and Rust.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Krill |first1=Paul |date=2023-05-04 |title=Mojo language marries Python and MLIR for AI development |url=https://www.infoworld.com/article/3695588/mojo-language-marries-python-and-mlir-for-ai-development.html |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=InfoWorld |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-02-20 |title=Should Julia use MLIR in the future? |url=https://discourse.julialang.org/t/should-julia-use-mlir-in-the-future/110459 |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=Julia Programming Language |language=en}}</ref> MLIR is a newer compiler framework that allows Mojo to exploit higher level compiler passes unavailable in LLVM alone, and allows Mojo to compile down and target more than only [[central processing unit]]s (CPUs), including producing code that can run on [[graphics processing unit]]s (GPUs), [[Tensor Processing Unit]]s (TPUs), [[application-specific integrated circuit]]s (ASICs) and other accelerators. It can also often more effectively use certain types of CPU optimizations directly, like [[single instruction, multiple data]] (SIMD) with minor intervention by a developer, as occurs in many other languages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Modular Docs: Why Mojo |url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/why-mojo |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=docs.modular.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title=Mojo - A system programming language for heterogenous computing | url=https://llvm.org/devmtg/2023-10/slides/keynote/Mojo.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240528174826/https://llvm.org/devmtg/2023-10/slides/keynote/Mojo.pdf | archive-date=2024-05-28}}</ref> According to [[Jeremy Howard (entrepreneur)|Jeremy Howard]] of fast.ai, Mojo can be seen as "[[Syntactic sugar|syntax sugar]] for MLIR" and for that reason Mojo is well optimized for applications like [[artificial intelligence]] (AI).<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Howard |first1=Jeremy |author1-link=Jeremy Howard (entrepreneur) |date=2023-05-04 |title=fast.ai - Mojo may be the biggest programming language advance in decades |url=https://www.fast.ai/posts/2023-05-03-mojo-launch.html?ref=blef.fr |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=fast.ai |language=en}}</ref>

The Mojo programming language was created by Modular Inc, which was founded by [[Chris Lattner]], the original [[Software architect|architect]] of the [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]] programming language and [[LLVM]], and Tim Davis, a former [[Google]] employee.<ref name="claburn2023">{{cite web |url=https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/05/modular_struts_its_mojo_a/ |title=Modular finds its Mojo, a Python superset with C-level speed |first=Thomas |last=Claburn |date=2023-05-05 |accessdate=2023-08-08 |work=The Register }}</ref>▼
According to public change logs, Mojo development goes back to 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/changelog.html#september-2022|title=Mojo🔥 changelog}}</ref> In May of 2023, the first publicly testable version was made available online via a hosted playground.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Modular: A unified, extensible platform to superpower your AI |url=https://www.modular.com/blog/a-unified-extensible-platform-to-superpower-your-ai |access-date=2024-04-14 |website=www.modular.com |language=en}}</ref> By September 2023 Mojo was available for local download for Linux<ref>{{Cite web |title=Modular: Mojo🔥 - It's finally here! |url=https://www.modular.com/blog/mojo-its-finally-here |access-date=2024-04-14 |website=www.modular.com |language=en}}</ref> and by October 2023 it was also made available for download on Apple's macOS. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Modular: Mojo🔥 is now available on Mac |url=https://www.modular.com/blog/mojo-is-now-available-on-mac |access-date=2024-04-14 |website=www.modular.com |language=en}}</ref>▼

== Features ==▼
▲== Features ==
Mojo was created for an easy transition from Python. The language has syntax similar to Python's, with inferred static typing,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Modular Docs - Mojo programming manual |url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/programming-manual.html#parameterization-compile-time-metaprogramming |access-date=2023-10-19 |website=docs.modular.com |language=en}}</ref> and allows users to import Python [[Modular programming|modules]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Modular Docs - Mojo programming manual |url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/programming-manual.html#python-integration |access-date=2023-10-31 |website=docs.modular.com |language=en}}</ref> It uses [[LLVM]] and [[MLIR (software)|MLIR]] as its compilation backend.<ref name="InfoWorld" /><ref>{{cite tech report |last1=Lattner |first1=Chris |title=MLIR Primer: A Compiler Infrastructure for the End of Moore's Law |date=2019 |url=https://research.google/pubs/pub48035/ |access-date=2022-09-30 |last2=Pienaar |first2=Jacques}}</ref><ref>{{cite arXiv |last1=Lattner |first1=Chris |last2=Amini |first2=Mehdi |last3=Bondhugula |first3=Uday |last4=Cohen |first4=Albert |last5=Davis |first5=Andy |last6=Pienaar |first6=Jacques |last7=Riddle |first7=River |last8=Shpeisman |first8=Tatiana |last9=Vasilache |first9=Nicolas |last10=Zinenko |first10=Oleksandr |date=2020-02-29 |title=MLIR: A Compiler Infrastructure for the End of Moore's Law |class=cs.PL |eprint=2002.11054}}</ref> The language also intends to add a [[foreign function interface]] to call C/C++ and Python code. The language is not [[source-code compatibility|source-compatible]] with Python 3, only providing a [[subset]] of its [[Syntax (programming languages)|syntax]], e.g. missing the {{mono|global}} keyword, list and dictionary comprehensions, and support for classes. Further, Mojo also adds features that enable performant low-level programming: {{mono|fn}} for creating [[Type system|typed]], [[Compiled language|compiled]] [[Function (computer programming)|function]]s and "struct" for [[Memory model (programming)|memory]]-optimized alternatives to [[Class (computer programming)|classes]]. Mojo structs support [[Method (computer programming)|methods]], [[Field (computer science)|fields]], [[operator overloading]], and [[Python syntax and semantics#Decorators|decorators]].<ref name="IWFirst" />
The language is not open source, but it is planned to be made open source in the future.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Open Source {{!}} Mojo🔥 FAQ {{!}} Modular Docs |url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/faq#open-source |access-date=2024-11-09 |website=docs.modular.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name="opensource" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Modular: Pricing |url=https://www.modular.com/pricing |access-date=2024-11-09 |website=www.modular.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYujSI_aoqk&lc=Ugy-QQjJ4PYNJyrRc354AaABAg.A7Wv5n61lVtA7j_dibRIk7 |title=Comment from @modularinc |date=2024-08-22 |last=Modular |access-date=2024-11-09 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
== Programming examples ==
In Mojo, functions can be declared using both {{mono|fn}} (for performant functions) or {{mono|def}} (for Python compatibility).<ref name=":0"
Basic arithmetic operations in Mojo with a {{mono|def}} function:
<syntaxhighlight lang="
def sub(x, y):
"""A pythonic subtraction."""
Line 80 ⟶ 71:
and with an {{mono|fn}} function:
<syntaxhighlight lang="
fn add(x: Int, y: Int) -> Int:
"""A rustacean addition."""
Line 90 ⟶ 81:
Variable declaration and usage in Mojo:
<syntaxhighlight lang="
fn main():
let x = 1
Line 102 ⟶ 93:
== Usage ==
The Mojo SDK allows Mojo programmers to compile and execute Mojo source files locally from
In January 2024, an inference model of [[LLaMA|LLaMA2]] written in Mojo was released to the public.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/tairov/llama2.mojo|title=llama2.
