If their intent is to flesh out a basic product then open things up, then I take that back, but as of right now, they seem to be pitching it as "ready to go" based on the copy here. That's a lot of trust to put with them.
Last time this came up I found out they're actually using CPython to execute Python code, so I have no idea how you get a 22kB static binary out of it, unless that example is just pure Mojo and no Python.
Either way it definitely feels like they keep hammering the amazing "Python but good!" line without actually explaining how it works, which makes me a little suss. Like they're scared of explaining it because then they'll have to say the thing they aren't saying.
And this is next to the superset features they want to implement which currently seem to take all the manpower.
100mn is a lot of money, but a problem is that developers that can contribute in this space are rare and expensive. Not something any developer can do.
But hopefully I’m wrong and it is more than yet another “colony on Mars” story to attract interest and invested tots.
