'''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🔥 programming manual |date=2023 |website=docs.modular.com |publisher=Modular |access-date=2023-09-26 |quote=Mojo is a programming language that is as easy to use as Python but with the performance of C++ and Rust.

Mojo builds upon [[MLIR (software)| MLIR]] instead of directly on the lower level and fairly older LLVM compiler framework like Julia, Swift, clang and Rust use.<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> Mojo's use of MLIR allows it to compile down and target more than just CPUs, including producing code that can run on GPUS, TPUS, and ASICS, and often more effectively use certain types of CPU optimizations, like [[Single instruction, multiple data|SIMD]], directly without explicit developer intervention.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Why Mojo🔥 {{!}} Modular Docs |url=https://docs.modular.com/mojo/why-mojo |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=docs.modular.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>https://llvm.org/devmtg/2023-10/slides/keynote/Mojo.pdf</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Howard |first=Jeremy |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>
