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

Exactly.

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

Well, in all seriousness, like, I mean, I think there's really, I'll give you two opposite answers.

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

One is I hope if it's useful, if it solves problems and people care about those problems being solved, they'll adopt the tech.

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

That's kind of the simple answer.

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

And when you're looking to get tech adopted, the question is, is it solving an important problem people need solved?

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

And is the adoption cost low enough that they're willing to make the switch and cut over and do the pain up front so that they can actually do it, right?

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

And so hopefully Mojo will be that for a bunch of people.

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

you know, people building these hybrid packages are suffering.

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

It's really painful.

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

And so I think that we have a good shot of helping people.

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

But the other side is like, it's okay if people don't use Mojo.

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

Like, it's not my job to say like, everybody should do this.

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

Like, I'm not saying Python is bad.

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

Like, I hope Python, CPython, like all these implementations, because Python ecosystem is not just CPython.

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

It's also a bunch of different implementations with different trade-offs.

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

And this ecosystem is really powerful and exciting as are other programming languages.

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

It's not like TypeScript or something is going to go away, right?

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

And so there's not a winner-take-all thing.

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

And so I hope that Mojo is exciting and useful to people, but if it's not, that's also fine.

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

Out of the box before you get to 35,000.
