Mojo is not aimed towards beginners, Python is a great choice for a first language and dominates fields like data science and Deep Learning (DL), which is the field responsible for rapid advancements in AI/ML such as Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT.
Mojo is a language focused on addressing the main limitation of Python, which is the lack of low-level control to optimize performance, a problem that doesn't concern beginner programmers.
For a path to becoming a proficient AI/ML developer who'll be able to take advantage of Mojo when it's released, I can recommend this syllabus for someone new to programming:
- CodeAcademy Python: learn the Python basics in a practical fun way.
- Practical deep learning for coders: learn modern practical skills that you can use to build a career in AI/ML.
- Coursera Nand to Tetris: learn the fundamentals about how a computer works at the hardware level, through to machine language, high level language and compilers.
- Python 3 Deep Dive: Circle back to the advanced features and implementation details of Python.
Not yet, Mojo is still only available via an online Jupyter notebook in an interactive playground to experiment with the language, but if you want to get a head start on understanding the language check out the links below.
Yes! There is a budding community of engineers dissatisfied with the current deep learning ecosystem, check the links below and help contribute to the early stages of a very promising language.
