Mojo🔥 is a new language aimed to unify the currently fragmented AI ecosystem. It is a superset of Python, can use all of its libraries, and combines Python libraries and readability with C/C++ speed. Early reviewers are calling it one of or the biggest revolution in programming ever.

In reading the documentation, found this nugget (screencap). They could have picked any number. 42 is often used in code examples because of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, so that explains that. But why 17? 😉

Anon is going to be optimistic about this project and the future of AI. Currently the biggest AI's are all behind API. Imagine Open Source AI 🤯. If history is a guide, OSAI may become the most powerful, and transparent, system ever created by humanity.
