Modular developed its Mojo language as a faster alternative to Python. According to the startup, a program written in Mojo can run up to 68,000 times faster than if it were implemented using Python.

A Python module is an external class or set of functions that exist outside the main file of your program. This can be something that you built yourself, or it can be provided by the community.

Python differs from other programming languages ... approaches allow you to take Python code and use it as libraries and modules for use with code written in other languages.

Python encompasses a relatively modest ... The standard library provides modules for common programming tasks—math, string handling, file and directory access, networking, asynchronous ...

But that simplicity comes at the cost of performance: Programs written in Python can be slow. Modular has developed a programming language called Mojo that it positions as a faster alternative.

Breaking down the design of a program into individual components (modules) that can be programmed and tested independently. It is a requirement for effective development and maintenance of large ...
