Interesting. I suggested both Julia and Mojo as alternative languages to python in my last newsletter. I should give these languages a whirl at some point.

Julia is a favorite. It is so flexible and it opens your mind to new ways to think about algorithms. I have been using it on and off for about 4 years (I would use it more, but my clients don't use it so it is just when I have a private project). Your programming style evolves as you learn more from it.

I have only just started using Mojo. Its use of allocation tracking is nicer than Rust, and the ability/requirement to be explicit about basic behaviors does seem attractive for system programming.

I wonder what it would have been like if they had chosen to implement Mojo inside Julia instead of Python.

Very helpful. Julia also appears to have extensive packages for engineering work. It should simply a lot of stuff.
