Will Mojo be a multipurpose language?

I’ve seen this debate come up a few times now and I’d like to get an official reading on the question: “Is Mojo a multipurpose language or an AI specific language?” In other words: “Are the design features built with AI in mind or * focused on AI*?”

“That said, we don’t plan to stop at AI—the north star is for Mojo to support the whole gamut of general-purpose programming over time.”

Yes, it will replace Golang minimally

Could you explain why?

My mental model currently, based mostly to reading the docs and faq and listening to interviews with Lattner, is Mojo is going to get selected features of C++, Swift, Rust, and Zig, and Python. In any possible future , Mojo will be a general purpose programming language. 😁
