Very exciting. Closed source was one of the main things making me not try it out yet.

Any good resources for getting started? And anything on doing NumPy/SciPy-like stuff in it?

https://mojolang.org is the best spot for getting started generally. numojo is the closest thing to numpy right now. You can check out more packages here: https://github.com/modular/modular-community/tree/main/recip...

NuMojo is the closest thing in the ecosystem to numpy and the final aim is offer numpy-like experience. https://github.com/Mojo-Numerics-and-Algorithms-group/NuMojo

Can't you just use Numpy directly in Mojo?

you can but through a python interpreter in the mojo process so you get the same numpy speed with mojo<->ptyhon interop overhead. NuMojo is native and also is now starting to support features that numpy can't really do like native GPU execution.

I'd be interested to see where GPU code beats NUMPY's SIMD implementation, which is really

I wonder if the Python-to-Mojo overhead is significant enough where language-native bindings make more sense. I'd be interested in seeing some benchmarks.

we use numpy + jax for that; works well
