When (if ever) can we expect arbitrary target support?
In Zig you can choose almost any target triple you need and it works, cross compilation is trivial too. Currently Mojo does not allow this, rejecting most targets - is this just a temporary limitation or is every target going to require patches to the compiler like Swift? Rust is also not that great here requiring installation of a separate toolchain for each target if I remember correctly.
Will Mojo be a "true" systems programming language?
Will you be able to create things like device drivers or even operating systems like you can in Rust?
Will imported python modules eventually be compiled by Mojo instead of relying on the python env?
I understand that currently imported python packages run on the CPython interpreter which will require a compiled Mojo program to run with the same python environment in which it was complied (same installed packages etc).
Will the need for this go away once Mojo is a true superset of Python. IOW, will the imported python module get complied just as if the Python code was written directly in the Mojo program?...
memory leak with DynamicVector
What is the right way to avoid memory leaks? From docs we see that DynamicVector doesn’t call elements destructors. Decorators supposed to create destructor but as far as I can tell you can’t use it manually. So what is the proper way to clean up in the and of the each step in the cycle?
`
from utils.vector import DynamicVector...
binary file size
In the first community live stream on youtube at around 36 minutes, Chris Lattner mentions "hello world it's 20K" which I understand means that the binary size of a hello world example could be as low as 20kb.
If I
mojo build hello_world.🔥 on linux I get a 1.7MB binary. How can I reduce that binary size?
Is that 20k a target that should be achievable later? Is it calculated without the runtime that is bundled in the binary? Do I need to enable some kind of optimization?...Support for Linux is only Ubuntu
Curious what's so special about Ubuntu that it's the only Linux distro that can be supported at the current time?
Plans for a package manager?
Are there any plans to implement a package manager for mojo like pip/pypi, nuget, npm, etc?
Stackoverflow?
Does anyone know how to use Stack Overflow for mojo questions?
The mojo tag on Stack Overflow has the following description:
SDK for development of webOS 1.x and 2.x apps using JavaScript and HTML. or... Most commonly used to designate plugin development in Maven (Java build tool). For the Perl web toolkit, use [tag:mojolicious] Mojo is also a programming language and superset of Python. Check https://www.modular.com/mojo for more details....
How to use Modulo?
This works
print(10%) but I can't use % in a method:
```def is_prime(n):
for i in range(2,n):
if (n%i) == 0:...Thread safety
Mojo looks very interesting! Are there any plans to statically prevent data races like what Rust does with the Send/Sync traits (in combination with the borrow checker)?
string chars to uint8
Any examples on how to access string characters and convert them to something similar to python bytes? In general any examples of types conversion would be helpful
Mojo code to python?
I was baking a project and i saw that including somes mojo code in my app could make it 🔥 but my main app is in python,
Question: Is it possible to use mojo in python ?
I know its possible to do python to mojo though...
newbie needs help with error messages

Print statement stops working after array instantiation
I created a custom array here with the help of the devs at one point and when messing around with it noticed that after instantiating it with a trivial int type that it stopped the program without any errors.
Can I call a (compiled) Mojo function from Python?
Otherwise, do we have any ETA for when that is going to be available? It seems like the killer feature for Mojo.
What is the correct way of serving restful api in short and long term in mojo?
Should we keep on using python for that? If we should do it from scratch, or there are already mojo way of doing it, how?
how do you disambiguate function calls
also, can you disambiguate between these two:
```Rust
fn mul(self, other: MY_SIMD[type,1]):
// splat multiply
fn mul(self, other: MY_SIMD[type,simd_width]):...
What kind of list should I use to add struct instances
Example struct:
```
struct Item:
var name: StringLiteral
fn init(inout self):...
