Previously only the standard library was open-sourced; now the entire language is available. Mojo, created by LLVM and Swift creator Chris Lattner, targets AI workloads across CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators, supports macOS and Linux with Windows support in progress, and allows interoperability with Python. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is the Mojo programming language open source now? Yes, the entire Mojo language is now open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. This follows Modular's earlier open-sourcing of just the Mojo standard library, and comes shortly after the Mojo 1.0 release and Qualcomm's acquisition of Modular. Windows support is in development to join existing macOS and Linux support. _Developers evaluating new systems languages track licensing and release changes like Mojo's on daily.dev._ ### Who created the Mojo programming language and what is it designed for? Mojo was created by Modular, the AI startup founded by Chris Lattner, creator of LLVM and Swift. It is a systems programming language designed for diverse hardware including CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators, aiming to be a production-ready foundation for AI-driven workloads, and it supports calling into Python and vice versa. _Anyone comparing AI-focused systems languages can follow Mojo's progress on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#gpu](https://daily.dev/tags/gpu) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/modular-s-mojo-language-now-open-source-following-qualcomm-acquisition-hczagouwt) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Modular's Mojo Language Now Open-Source Following Qualcomm Acquisition","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/modular-s-mojo-language-now-open-source-following-qualcomm-acquisition-hczagouwt","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/modular-s-mojo-language-now-open-source-following-qualcomm-acquisition-hczagouwt"},"datePublished":"2026-08-19T00:39:56.176Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T00:40:36.691Z","description":"Modular has fully open-sourced its Mojo systems programming language under the Apache 2.0 license, following last week's Mojo 1.0 release and the recent...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--qPvKM23u--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2009","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--qPvKM23u--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2009","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Phoronix","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Phoronix","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/6a26ba379dd64932830aa0c9803dd7ee","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/modular-s-mojo-language-now-open-source-following-qualcomm-acquisition-hczagouwt","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,hardware,gpu","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Phoronix","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Modular's Mojo Language Now Open-Source Following Qualcomm Acquisition"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/modular-s-mojo-language-now-open-source-following-qualcomm-acquisition-hczagouwt#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is the Mojo programming language open source now?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, the entire Mojo language is now open-source under the Apache 2.0 license.
