The title makes me happy, but the link just goes to a signup page? Their homepage ( https://mojolang.org/ ) states > The Mojo standard library is fully open-source on GitHub and we welcome contributions! We also plan to open-source the Mojo compiler in 2026. Their roadmap ( https://mojolang.org/docs/roadmap/ ) doesn't say anything about it.

Once upon a time, I was looking forward to open source Mojo, but over years that interest has waned. And with latest acquisition event, the entire thing might as well be dead and buried.

I am still waiting for the Mojo language to be fully open source before diving into it. Another language I'm excited about is Carbon. I can't wait for an MVP to actually try it. We have so many new languages incubating in the last few years!
