#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

There's lots of reasons you might care.

And so then you add types, you can parallelize things, you can vectorize things, you can use these techniques, which are general techniques to solve a problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And then you can do that by staying in the system.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And if you have that one Python package that's really important to you, you can move it to Mojo, you get massive performance benefits on that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And other advantages, you know, if you like sack types, it's nice if they're enforced.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

some people like that, right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Rather than being hints.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So there's other advantages too.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And then, um, and then you can do that incrementally as you go.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, I mean, you could argue Mojo is redesigning CPython.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But why not make CPython faster and better and other things like that?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

There's lots of people working on that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So actually, there's a team at Microsoft that is really improving.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I think CPython 3.11 came out in October or something like that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And it was 15% faster, 20% faster across the board.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

which is pretty huge given how mature Python is and things like this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so that's awesome.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I love it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Doesn't run on GPU.
