Once upon a time, I was looking forward to open source Mojo, but over years that interest has waned. And with latest acquisition event, the entire thing might as well be dead and buried.

The title makes me happy, but the link just goes to a signup page?
Their homepage (https://mojolang.org/) states
> The Mojo standard library is fully open-source on GitHub and we welcome contributions! We also plan to open-source the Mojo compiler in 2026.
Their roadmap (https://mojolang.org/docs/roadmap/) doesn't say anything about it.

Feel sad for Mojo... "like Python but not Python", language like that is basically the uncanny valley for LLMs. Not just a lack of training data problem, it is also very easy to get confused, just like bash and fish. :(

I am still waiting for the Mojo language to be fully open source before diving into it.
Another language I'm excited about is Carbon. I can't wait for an MVP to actually try it. We have so many new languages incubating in the last few years!
