The world is currently being overrun by AI hype. But what is happening with programming languages? Are we still using 40-year-old programming languages for the new requirements? While much of it is pure hype, we also have industrial requirements and sensors that already use AI/ML and are prepared for it. In this talk we will have a look at Mojo, a programming language based on python (possible successor ?) which has the performance of C and support AI/ML based development and operation. Lets have a look into this new kid on the block :-) and have some code, demos and share experiences
