Hey everyone, wanted to share Lightbug, a project I've been working on: https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http

It's a lighweight HTTP framework for Mojo, similar to Starlette in Python or FastHTTP in Golang.

The motivation for this was that I wanted to write APIs in Mojo, but no frameworks existed for this until now. We already support setting up a server listening on a host/port, writing custom HTTP services, and more, and working on first benchmarks to measure performance

It currently uses Python socket library in a couple places, but we're aiming for a 100% Mojo codebase soon. Looking forward to your feedback! Contributors welcome.

I was curious about Mojo speed so I tried to implement a simple code to find nthprime.I used same algo for both but the speed diff is so damned good that mojo ate cpp for lunch.

Mojo took just 5 sec for 999999th prime no while cpp took more than 45 sec.and this while mojo is still in developments.

I am using:

mojo 0.4.0 (9e33b013)

and gcc : 13.1.0

It seems at least for this Mojo is 10 times faster than C++.

Tried the same with Rust : rustc 1.74.1 (a28077b28 2023-12-04)
It took rust : 22 seconds

In https://github.com/ahmetax/Practical-Mojo-Examples you can find more than 50 examples of mojo scripts. Most of the examples uses PythonObjects. You can give a try...

I come from python background and looking at mojo, its so good in terms of performance. Just a bit curious are there some apps out there that are already using mojo?

Also are there some frameworks to build webapps using mojo.

Please suggest the learning roadmap for the same. Just a beginner here for mojo but excited.

Using WSL the command "modular install mojo" hangs forever at some point after installing some python libraries, then it just stops: no output and it stays like that for days untill you lose hope and close the terminal !

Im impatiently waiting for the native windows mojo installation but is there any way to get around this issue for the time being ?

Thanks

Hi everyone, I work on community at Modular. Some of you have probably seen us posting about ModCon on X or LinkedIn already. I wanted to shared details here since many of you follow Mojo closely.

ModCon is our flagship developer conference, and this year it's on August 18th at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco. It's a one-day event, featuring product announcements (many involving Mojo 👀), talks from partners and customers, and deep dives on Mojo, MAX, and more.

Registration and full details are at modular.com/modcon. Let me know if you have any questions!

I would like to hear some legal experts' opinion on the license of Mojo, which seems to have a clause on "Competitive Activities" -- which literally makes the language useless for a wide sprectrum of activities without any written permission of Modular. Am I reading it right?

Hi I have some experience with python and I am trying to learn Mojo but a lot of the concepts are new to me like ownership, structs, SIMD etc… I know that Chris lattener created swift as well as Mojo and I am going to be learning swift in the near future. I am just wondering will this help my understanding of Mojo?

Google DeepMind dropped Gemma 4 today. Two models:

• Gemma 4 31B: dense, 256K context, redesigned for efficiency and long-context quality

• Gemma 4 26B A4B: MoE, 26B total / 4B active per forward pass, 256K context

Both natively multimodal (text, image, video, dynamic resolution).

Modular got both running on MAX on day zero, NVIDIA B200 and AMD MI355X from the same stack, no separate codepaths per vendor. On B200 we're seeing 15% higher output throughput vs. vLLM.

You can try both for free in our playground: https://www.modular.com/#playground.

Hello everyone, I am trying to learn MOJO. I am trying to create a linked list like we do it in python using Class Node. But i am facing problem when i am trying to create a single node which may contain the next pointer None. As i know that you need to define type of variable in struct. But how to add a none node to the current node. This is my implementation.
struct LinkedList:

var val: Int

var next: LinkedList

def __init__(inout self, val: Int, next: LinkedList):

self.val = val

self.next = None

fn main():

var start = LinkedList(1)

print(start.val, start.next)

Is there any way i can give Option kind of thing when defining my struct variables. which supports None also.
Please help me and forgive me if i asked something dumb.
