Mojo is similar to Rust in that case, isn't it?

My understanding is that Mojo has yet to prove itself in this space. They made a lot of claims but at the time few of them were implemented.

They also backed down from the initial claim of full Python compatibility. Which was the entire appeal of the venture. If you cannot seamlessly drop into the Python ecosystem, it is just another scripting language with better architecture to enable faster code.

Mojo is not a scripting language in the usual sense. It is a system programming language more akin to Rust. Their aim is to have better ergonomics than Rust.

Nobody wants a closed source systems language

In practice, Mojo feels like it pivoted to being a pythonic scripting language for CUDA
