Can Mojo replace Python ?

The answer to this question leans in favor of Mojo. I have been programming with Python for the past two years. I chose Python over other languages due to its simplicity and, most importantly, its extensive community. However, there is a catch — performance. Python’s performance is noticeably lower when compared to languages like C, C++, and Rust. Mojo can only dominate Python if it receives community support for libraries, much like PyTorch, which, again, currently favors Python greatly.

Python’s extensive ecosystem is challenging to surpass, but with the proper support for libraries, it may easily outperform Python. Another advantage of Mojo is its MLIR LLVM compiler, which simplifies running it on various hardware without requiring explicit programming of CUDA or C++ kernels.

As for now, learning Python remains beneficial for the next 3–4 years, while learning Mojo is also a option but still in early stages. However, it’s worth noting that trends can change, and in my personal opinion, Mojo could be the next big wave in the world of programming.
