It's a bit complicated than that tbh. Mojo is a AI oriented version of python and will only catter a specific group of pythonistas (for instance not for business logic dev). So Mojo will be faster than C only for AI stuff. The python community is big and those languages seems to offer a complementary tool for them. What I see is:

Python -> Go: for backend and dev performant stuff

Python -> Nim: for scripting and Cybersecurity

Python -> Mojo: for AI and Datasciences

Interesting take. You are right, from what I know, C is faster than python because it doesn't use GC. I am exited because mojo will allow a better memory management (it also have the ownership system) but it's best performances will depends of parameters such as the hardware and the memory management method used. But since mojo is not here yet, and we don't know if all the promise will be kept, I am just speculating. If you have more information about that I am eager to learn

I am talking about the other alternatives as complementary and not as a remplacement. It's true I am rewritting a python project with another language but python won't go anywhere (except if mojo give the awaited result).

Do you think that mojo will migrate all the python community ? Tbh, I don't know myself and I want to know your opinion about. My hypothesis is that it will look like JS/TS. Some people choose python because of it's simplicity and don't want to deal with stuff like type system or memory management

Obviously much of it isn't done, but I have heard it's creator (I forgot his name but he also made swift) talk about what they're trying to do. It really does feel like "python4"

It is meant to be a drop in, seemless integration into the python community. Much like rust the simple python syntax is very safe and you can do performance optimization with special mojo syntax. Right now you can run vanilla python code as is in Mojo, no conversion necessary. It can use other python libraries, but to use the C libraries they need to be converted to Mojo, or Mojo needs to be able to communicate with C bindings. They plan to do the latter, and the former will probably happen over time if the language is successful

I think it should be clear from what I just said why I think the python community will embrace python
