Creating files from code

However, I don't think Mojo supports opening a file in "x" mode yet, so you'll need to ensure that the file doesn't already exist manually

Creating files from code

You can use the open() function in a context manager in Mojo the same way you would in python, there's no need to interop any python code for this.

fn create_proj(filepath: String) raises:
    if os.path.exists(filepath):
        raise Error("File already exists.")

    with open(filepath, "w") as f:
        f.write(String("text goes here"))

fn create_proj(filepath: String) raises:
    if os.path.exists(filepath):
        raise Error("File already exists.")

    with open(filepath, "w") as f:
        f.write(String("text goes here"))

Could Mojo be the first all purpose language?

I was referring to programming languages rather than query languages or proof verification tools, but thanks for the input! Wouldn't Mojo need to support dynamic typing and python libraries to be a super set of python? Or are you saying that even if this is true, it won't matter since using the pythonic syntax would be frowned upon.
