This may be a "Big Deal" innovation in AI/ML and software development in general!
A new programming language, "Mojo"
that is a "superset" of Python, but 1000's x faster!!
One example is 35000 times faster than Python!
And in that use-case it is also 7x faster that C++ by effectively using CPU/GPU features!
It is even using AI/ML to optimize the compiled code.

It is even using AI/ML to optimize the compiled code.
It also makes sense, since it is all compiler level optimization.
Technically it parses Python-like source code, and then compiles this to native code.
When needed it is also using standard CPython interpreter, too, so it is back-compatible.
It is already possible to sign up get early access to online "playground" to try it.
It is created by Chris Lattner, creator of LLVM complier toolkit, that is used by a large number of programming languages today, has also created Swift programming language when in Apple, was briefly leading Tesla AI efforts, and then worked on speeding up of ML tools in Google, and HW compilers, too.
fast.ai - Mojo may be the biggest programming language advance in decades
Mojo is a new programming language, based on Python,
which fixes Python’s performance and deployment problems.
excellent, technical, podcast!
