Mojo in the Tiobe-index
From Paul Jansen in the Tiobe index of Jan 2025: "Further down the list we see two new promising languages: Rust's competitor Zig climbed from #149 to #61 in 2024, whereas Mojo, the faster Python, jumped from position #194 to #68. Especially Mojo, which was first released only 2 years ago, addresses exactly what is needed in the programming field. I have high hopes that it will get close to a top 20 position in 2025."

Try finally when opening a file
Sorry I was wrong, the finally block is executed. Probably Mojo's memory management has already cleared out the file variable when coming in the finally block.

Try finally when opening a file
Also after an exception, the finally block is not executed. This seems like a bug.

Try finally when opening a file
file I mean. The finally clause should be made to clean up. Of course it would be perhaps better to use with then.

Try finally when opening a file
Thanks. In the try block would it still close the filep properly when an error happened just before that?

Try finally when opening a file
That's true. But I tried to initialize the FileHandle with for example: var file: FileHandle = FileHandle("my_file.txt", "r")

Is there a way in Mojo to know the type of a variable/object ?
Thanks. Are types then not known (thrown away) at runtime?

Mojo in the Tiobe-index
It is based on querying a lot of search engines, arguably an incomplete criterion. Somehow older query info seems 'to stay in' forever, which could explain why for example Delphi/Object Pascal remains around position 11 already for years. But the top 10 - top 20 ranges agree quite good with what other Programming Popularity rankings post. And of course Python is number 1😄

Mojo in the Tiobe-index
I originally proposed Paul Jansen (the founder of Tiobe index) to measure the popularity of Mojo with his index back in Oct 2023. He answered me in a mail from Nov 26 2023 that Mojo had been added on position #184. In Dec 2023 it had already ascended to #174. I have the original mail correspondence to back this up. How the Tiobe-index is calculated can be found here.
