*:I'm very skeptical of ''The New Stack'', they seem to be the "journalism" arm of a tech investment firm: [https://thenewstack.io/about-and-contact-info/][https://www.insightpartners.com/]. And the author is referred to as a ''{{tq|developer marketing writer}}''[https://thenewstack.io/author/jessica-wachtel/]

*:Currently the only source I trust is InfoWorld, and to be fair, it's a good article. —[[User:Siroxo|siro]][[User talk:Siroxo|''χ'']][[Special:Contributions/Siroxo|o]] 05:59, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

*:I hadn't seen [[WP:CORPDEPTH]], but looking at it now there is a line about discounting "any material that is substantially based on press releases ([[churnalism]]), even if published by independent sources". The register article is substantially based on quoting [https://www.modular.com/blog/a-unified-extensible-platform-to-superpower-your-ai the Modular blog post announcing Mojo] and the non-independent fast.ai article, so I think would count as churnalism. And maybe the first infoworld article, it doesn't cite any sources and the talking points ("Full compatibility", "low-level control", etc.) are suspiciously similar to the blog post. But I think the Analytics India is independent - the author is on the staff, not a contributor, so it's not syndicated material, and the comparison with Julia seems out of place for a corporate piece. And the second infoworld article seems like a legitimate "I read Mojo's documentation" kind of piece.

*:I did see the New Stack article but I think it's a contributed article (as described in [https://thenewstack.io/contributions/]), as the author is not listed on [https://thenewstack.io/about-and-contact-info/ the staff], (although, she has many more posts than 1 per 3 months, so maybe she does have a close relationship with TNS?). But, regardless, from the colloquial language like "Advertising, amirite?" I don't think it went through much of an editorial review, let alone fact-checking like a reputable news source. I think it just counts as a blog post hence unreliable.

*:So that leaves us at 2 reliable sources. I like the merging idea, certainly in this discussion Zramsey11's primary argument for notability was that the team is led by Chris Lattner and he has a good track record of releasing languages, so discussing Mojo in the context of Chris Lattner seems warranted.
