Very bold of them expecting people to use a language with a closed source compiler in the 2020s.

If you're looking for a language that aims to solve the "two-language problem" like Mojo, but want something more open, more mature and less influenced by VC funding, check out Julia: https://julialang.org/

		I used Julia a lot when I was studying statistics (which I dropped out of) back in 2015, but I recently (like last weekend) came back to it to write a prototype of a supervised learning model, and I have to say, coming back to it was pure joy. And my model prototype was indeed fast enough for me. Now I will probably rewrite the model in rust if I want to do anything with it (mostly for the web assembly target as I want this thing to run in browsers) but I will for sure be using Julia for further experimentation. Lovely language.

They've said they'll open source the compiler alongside the 1.0 release.

from what I understand the goal for now is not to get the people to use it, but for enthusiasts to try it

What enthusiast worth getting feedback from is going to tinker with a locked up language?

		You'd be surprised. Anyway, the compiler will be opened with 1.0 release, that's why reaching beta is exciting.
