I work on Mojo. The whole compiler, runtime etc. will get open sourced, most likely within a year. It is just a matter of time and us getting all the required work done.

,,will get open sourced'' means closed source, parent wrote the same

Chris Lattner (the CEO of Modular) was previously the technical lead behind the creation of LLVM, Clang and Swift, all of which were open sourced.

He has a bit of a track record already.

> runtime

Are you talking about your libc equivalent or MAX?

Both.

Mojo standard library is already open source. Mojo at the moment does not need a runtime (but if it ever needs one it'd get open sourced). My point was, Mojo as a whole, as a programming language & a reference implementation, will definitely get open sourced.

MAX itself is a bigger beast to work with, and I am out of my depth to talk about it. I think it'll get open sourced as well, just the timeline might be different (shorter or longer, IDK).
