alt Hacker NewsHow did Mojo already lose when Qualcomm just made a $4B bet on it? You're forgetting that the language is still pre-1.0. The way I think of this... if Modular is able to remain an open platform, being part of an established corporation with existing customers is a better way to drive penetration compared to acquiring new customers.

NVDA market cap is $4.7T.
The difference between a billion and a trillion is roughly a trillion.

The founders won the lottery, the language most likely will never make mainstream.

I'm not really sure if Mojo has lost or not, but the community has felt quite different than other language communities I have encountered. The development feels less organic and more driven by venture capital. This is most acutely felt in the current closed source development of mojo itself, which seems like it will continue into the near future.
I look forward to seeing open source mojo and the community that will bring.
