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

Physics isn't going back to where we came from.

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

It's only going to get weirder from here on out.

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

And so to me, the exciting part about what we're building is it's about building that universal platform, which the world can continue to get weird.

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

Because again, I don't think it's avoidable.

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

It's physics.

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

but we can help lift people, scale, do things with it, and they don't have to rewrite their code every time a new device comes out.

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

And I think that's pretty cool.

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

And so if Mojo can help with that problem, then I think that it will be hopefully quite interesting and quite useful to a wide range of people because there's so much potential and maybe analog computers will become a thing or something, right?

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

And we need to be able to get into a mode where we can move this programming model forward, but do so in a way where we're lifting people and

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

growing them instead of forcing them to rewrite all their code and exploding them do you think there'll be a few major libraries that go mojo first uh well so i mean the modular engine is all mojo so again come back to like we're not building mojo because it's fun we're building mojo because we had to to solve these accelerators that's the origin story but i mean ones that are currently in python

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

Yeah, so I think that a number of these projects will.

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

And so one of the things, again, this is just my best guess, each of the package maintainers also has, I'm sure, plenty of other things going on.

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

People really don't like rewriting code just for the sake of rewriting code.

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

But sometimes people are excited about adopting a new idea.

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

It turns out that while rewriting code is generally not people's first...

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

thing, turns out that redesigning something while you rewrite it and using a rewrite as an excuse to redesign can lead to the 2.0 of your thing that's way better than the 1.0, right?

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

And so I have no idea.

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

I can't predict that.

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

But there's a lot of these places where, again, if you have a package that is half C and half Python, right, just solve the pain, make it easier to move things faster, make it easier to debug and evolve your

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

Adopting Mojo kind of makes sense to start with, and then it gives you this opportunity to rethink these things.
