And now, dear friends, here's Bert Kreischer. I read somewhere that you like Ernest Hemingway. Love him. There's a quote, there's nothing too writing.

I can't write a bit, but if I journal, I'll find something that I go just write. kind of writing where you're the pens moving faster than your brain and they're kind of like doing it together. The thing I liked about Ernest Hemingway, this is so stupid. I'm a little dyslexic and so I'm not a good reader. And so he wrote very simply and it wasn't until after I read a bunch of Ernest Hemingway, I was working in parts of Noble and this person said, don't you love his titles? And I was like, yeah, Sun Also Rises. And they're like, yeah, but And the sun also rises. And I was like, yeah, sun also rises. And they're like, no, no, the sun also rises. And I went, oh, oh, yeah, that is fucking badass. Yeah. And then I'm like always late to the party with anything. And then that night we were all doing coke.

And i just told it on stage it just happened and louis was in the audience. He was, I love that joke. I said, really? He was, yeah, and I just told it and I went, done. Louis C. K. says he likes a joke. It's fucking, it's in the special. And I tried to fucking razzle, dazzle that joke into like a 15 minute bit. It got to the point where it was so, it was so bad that I told him, I did a podcast with him. I said, what did you like about that joke? Cause I can't get it to work anymore. Because it was just simple. It was simple that your daughter didn't know how they'd figure out where deaf kids lived. I went, that's it? He was like, yeah, I was like, nothing about gun control. And he was like, huh? I was like, oh, fuck, man. I really fucked that joke up. And then I had to, I had to go back to the beginning of it, but that first time that's when, that's when the joke comes out, purest for me. And then it's always chasing back to get that, get that first telling. Some jokes are different. Like the machine obviously was a much longer story and like, and like escape room for this one.

So every year on the day of his death, and he's January 24th, I celebrate Winston Churchill's life by living the way he did.

It's one of my favorite drinks in the world. I don't even know what that is. Campari Spritz. Campari is an interesting alcohol Because I think it's a bitter or it's a liqueur and it's got a weird, rooty, earthy taste. It's red, so it looks like Kool-Aid. That's why I got into it. I thought Campania Nice would be oh, so nice. It's an old commercial, but man, it's fucking like sucking the green giant's dick. It is earthy. What's earthy? It's like, it tastes like roots. Oh, nice. It's not, it's not, it's, oh, there's a bitterness and like, it's just not great. And then someone introduced me to a Negroni which is Campari and gin and a little soda water and then Campari Spritz. Campari Spritz is Campari, Prosecco and soda water and like a wine glass and it is so enjoyable. It's got so many different profiles to it where you get the bitterness, but the sweetness of the prosecco and then it flattens it out with the soda water and it looks like goulade. So I love it. That's one of my favorite drinks to share in what context. Oh, you're in Italy. And you've been walking around Venice and everyone went their own ways and the whole family comes back together and you meet at a statue and your wife's sweating and she's uncomfortable and your daughters are 16 and 18 and they're like, what are we doing with the rest of the day? And you go, hey guys, it's Europe. Does anyone want to come party spritz? And everyone goes, I don't know what that is and you go, for compari spritz. It's minor in alcohol, so it's not gonna light them up, but it gives them a little bit of a buzz where they're like, dad, these are nice. Isla didn't drink hers, so I drank hers. Georgia had hers, Leanne had hers, and we ordered another round. I ordered, and they're fucking refreshing, and the buzz is perfect. It's not too much, because it's just a little bit of champagne and some compari. If the buzz is perfect, and then a couple of them, and then they kind of disappear, and then you just walk around again. That's a great fucking drink."

And it's like, it's like 11 o'clock on a Sunday. And they just opened that bar by the elevator in the Beverly center. And you just sneak over and you go, Hey man, can I get a double jack on the rocks, rocks, rocks? And they're like, sure. And you just have it. And you just go, let's just, and then you're off.

And I was like, I don't want one. I got to figure this out. Cause I want this chick. And if I start drinking, I'll be like, ah, fuck it. So I got to figure it out. Like I wonder, I'm going to find out my dad dies one day or my mom, but my dad will be the rough one. My mom will be equally as rough. My dad and I were really close. And I wonder if I've thought about this a lot. If I'll have a drink dealing with that. Like I think about that a lot. I keep saying everything I get with my dad is extra. My dad, my dad had a 100% blockage in his widowmaker twice and both times they saved his life and he got a stint, I think 12 or 13 years ago and then he just got a stint this last year. But so everything I get to do, I feel like it's extra. And so, you know, he was just at the premiere of my movie and he got to see that and he had a very emotional response. And I got, I got that from him. And I was like, that's a little ice on the cake. I did, you know, the arena in Tampa was the first time he ever saw me do stand up. That was like a little extra. So all these things I'm getting with them are all extra. So I have a, you know, at least 74. So yeah, that'll be a tough one. At the premiere, he was, what, proud? Yeah, he came out, he was sobbing, crying. And he goes, I've underestimated you your whole life. And I was like, what? And he was shaking. He goes, I just underestimated you. I didn't know. I didn't know you were this, I didn't know whatever. It was really hard to understand him to be honest with you. I don't know totally what he said. He might have just not liked the movie."

So I, whatever I got to do to get you there, but the number one thing, my one takeaway from that man's humility and I applied, I've applied it in different ways throughout my career. On my 26th birthday, he gave me a really aggressive speech. He, I was hungover and I just thought he was going to say happy birthday. So I picked up the phone and I was like, Hey, and he was like, you are a tremendous piece of shit. And he broke me off. You have no humility. You have no this. You've never succeeded in anything. You're lying to yourself. You're lying to everyone around you. You're not doing what you're going after your dream. I broke you. I failed you as a father. This and that. I was like, I thought you're going to wish me happy birthday. And so in that speech, he told me if I wanted something, I had to go at it and I had to go after it as hard as I could. And I had to do whatever it could. I could do to achieve that. In this case, it was working, offering to do anything at the comedy club to get on stage. He told me, I told him, that's not how it works. And he said, no, that's how it works for some poor kid from Harlem. Because that kid needs it. He goes, you've grown up with privilege or life. You don't need it. You think you're going to be fine. And so I went and I ended up getting a job at the door, but I it was it was it was it's humbling. It's it's really like it makes me feel it made me feel uncomfortable. And so that humility is, it's the first time I really understood humility and I've applied that in many respects in like, in like getting to be a paid regular at the comedy store that happened late in life for me. And which I think most people would give up and be like, fuck that, I'm already a touring comic, I'm on TV, I don't need that. But it's something I wanted and I knew I wanted. So I just humbly went after it. And then I think I still apply it when it comes to selling tickets or selling a project to the fans. Or even to doing podcasts, I try to be as honest as I can about whatever I'm going through or whatever I'm dealing with. But when it comes to like selling things, I don't have a problem trying to make fun of myself or get in front of people so that they know that I have a show. Because the thing I'm good at, the one thing I know I'm good at, stand up. And I say that humbly, but like, I want them to come there. So like, I've heard people make fun of me like before they're like, yeah, I'm not some, I'm not some clown and a speedo who's one is going to, I'm a real comic. And I go, okay, but I want it. I want them to have my shows and you can be that guy and I'll be this guy."

What do you think about trust?"

"value": "It's an interesting question. Um, I've been betrayed in my professional life a couple of times by really close friends. And, uh, I'm not someone who can like, I have a mantra that, I mean, I'm, I don't know if people have heard it or not. And I hate, I hate sharing it, but it's, but it's true. The mantra is, so you think I'm weak. Like, do you think it's like, that's my thing. Cause I feel like people take advantage of me and I go, so you think I'm weak. You forget everyone that like, and I'm named the, the people that have betrayed me, I'm a larger man than all of them. And, and, but I, and so that's what really fucks with me is I go, so you think I'm weak. Like where I grew up when you do stuff, there was physical consequences. I grew up in Florida. Like I've been beaten up a bunch. I'm not saying I can fight, but like I'm not scared of getting beaten up. And the, the times that I've been betrayed, I, and, and even, I know, even like by Ari, whichever, people see that drugging as a betrayal. And I did for a period, but it was, it was only because it was Ari and he was my, one of my best friends. And me and him had to work through that. Cause I, I, I couldn't not love him. Like I couldn't not have him in my life. He met, he means a lot to me. He really does. He's a great friend to have. But he's also, I don't know what was going on with him at that time, but he made a bad decision and I had to forgive him for that because I knew he knew my mantra. I think I'm harder to trust people now. I'm not as apt to trust people at all. But there was a moment, I don't know if I've ever shared this and I don't know how this will sound, but there was a moment that information got leaked about a thing and all my managers and agents, both, both, Tom and our managers and agents would like to either separate us or one of them get both of us. It's just more lucrative for them. So they have always kind of pitted us against each other a little bit and they do it subtly. They'll do it to me and my team and then his team will do it to me and then my team will do it to him and his team will do it to him. And there was a moment where information got leaked about this thing I was doing And my team was like, just so you know, your, your boy Tommy is, is the rat. And I had to, it was the one time when Leanne said, do you think Tom would do that? I said, uh, I don't know how faith works. Like I'm not a super religious person, but I will tell you that I believe in Tom and I don't think he did it. And I will stand by that ignorantly. And, and I will, and I will ride or die with him because I cannot live in a world where I don't trust him. Yeah. If I don't trust him, then I am so fucked. And, uh, and it wasn't him. It wasn't him. And it was, it's a cool feeling to know that you could like, that you could blindly trust someone, blindly have faith in someone, know that they're, they have your best interest at heart. But yeah, it took me a while to get there. Rogan helped me get there because I wasn't trusting him or Joey or Tommy or anyone. I wasn't trusting anyone. I'd gotten in a, Bad thing and I just wasn't trusting anybody. And Rogan was like, yo man, we're trying to be your fucking friend. And I was like, yeah, I don't, I don't need friends. I couldn't understand why Rogan was interested in me. And I said to someone, I was like, is he gay? Like, what the fuck? And then he was just a nice guy. He was just a nice guy."

He wants you to shine He wants to put you over to his fans. That shit did not exist before he started doing his podcast. People didn't share you with their fans. No one was like, hey man, come on on the road with me. They brought you on the road because they wanted you to suck and they put you in bad scenarios. Joe Rogan wanted you to shine. He gave so many people Beautiful career gave them careers gave them Joe could have looked at his podcast as his thing. This is my thing I bring on these guys. I'm gonna be the funniest kind of fucking room. I know some guys that have done that It might be me. It might be time I talk over people and not listen really well. Joe did the opposite. Now look, I've tried to learn from Joe on my podcast and do the same. That guy, when you think about it, you name 10 of his friends, I bet eight of them are doing arenas right now. They're all doing theaters. All his friends do theaters. All his friends do theaters. He is, he is just, you know, I, he, and he will accept this compliment.

I can't just tell you this because it's gonna fall in deaf ears. I need to give you a minute so you have something so you know that I think about you and I'm grateful for having you in my life a lot for many reasons. I have more friends in my life because of you.

Because of you without you in my life a lot of these things maybe never would have happened I never would have told the machine on stage I wouldn't have gotten I wouldn't never started a podcast I wouldn't have three podcasts like I mean all these things are things He not just he didn't just take me to the water one time and give me a drink He he gave me a machete and he said this is how I get to the water You got to put your own path, but just give me your heads up. You can also use my path whenever you want I mean, he, he is the most selfless individual. He will go down in history as one of the 10 most important people in stand-up comedy without a doubt. He changed the game. It didn't exist like this before him. And, uh, and he won't accept that compliment. What was the gift you gave him? I can't tell you. Is it a dildo?

I didn't know which one you'd want. So I got four different meals for you. I ordered them. They're up in your room and just let me know whichever you want. I'll take care of the rest of them. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that dude thinks about other people before himself. He didn't even get himself dinner. He just got me four dinners. And I was like, fuck. I did the same thing with my social media manager. The way she was operating was I was like, I feel like she's thinking about me. And we connected on so many levels and so many levels, I could talk to her about things and ideas I had. And then I was like, okay, I want her. I want him.

And I was like, I was like, man, if he had just posted that one, he never posted anything in his stories. That one, 145, 5,000 people would have gone to his story to see that cup of tea being made and see which one he finally went with. And so sometimes I think the biggest mistake you can make is just not doing it. Just do it. Just post it. Turn the camera on. The idea will show up. And that's the number one thing. Just turn the camera on and it'll come up. You'll figure it out."

His son Truett is really fascinating because his son Truett's right now is trying to get the, and I bet people would never think that this is who I watch, but I get real inspiration from those people because I showed Jaco, I showed a clip to Jaco to Isla because Isla's like me, like a person of her fluids, impulse.

Shut the door. And I shut the door to let her finish the root beer. Yeah. She has a hard time waking up. So I go, I look, come in here. I want you to see this clip from Jaco. She goes, who's Jaco? I say, he's a Navy SEAL. She goes, he works at the zoo. I went, no. He said, Navy fucking SEAL. I go, it's a badass job. She goes, it's a silly name. And I went, no, it's not. It isn't a silly name.

And Isla hits pause and she goes, How great is that nap right after you hit snooze though? It is pretty fun. You're missing the point. He's with Casey Neistat when he's telling the speech. He's with Casey Neistat. And uh, so I hit it and then he goes and then you've got a victory under your belt.

You've worked out and you've woken up on time. You didn't hit that snooze button. So when you go into that break room and you see Donuts and she hit the pause, she goes, um, if he's about to say no to donuts, I'm done listening. I was definitely going to say no to donuts. Do you think he's going to have a donut? And she goes, You like this guy, I go, I fucking love him. And she goes, do you think he'd like you? And I go, what do you mean? She goes, dad, you hit snooze, you skip working out and you love donuts. And I'm like, yeah, you're making a good fucking point. I go, I, but I, but I do love that. Like I love to watch that brain work and go like, Like I don't, I don't hit snooze. Like I don't hit snooze now. I go, fuck it. Cause I'm up. But I, and then, and then I go to the gym every single morning. I go to the gym every single morning. And today is national donut day. I didn't have a donut.

Let's go have drinks. Let's go have a fucking couple of compari spritz. I was over at a friend's house and overnight. Let's get some edibles and let's fucking have a night about it. Get some sushi.

Just wrapped doing the cabin on Netflix and we got COVID tested We got in the tour bus and we said let's create our bubble and stay safe and that night we drove I think just outside Gallop and we stayed in a No one had been outside and we stayed at a KOA camp on arrival and we watched thunderstorms come in on a lake and we were all smoking cigars and drinking IPAs and it was fucking mad and that whole road trip.

So I had to stay but live on the tour bus at a different house. And it was 4th of July and I came in and they were doing an egg toss. And they were like, well, you can do an egg toss. This is not about my anxiety guys. You can do an egg toss with your daughter Isla. So Isla and I did an egg toss and we fucking got it to like legit like 40 fucking feet where I was throwing overhand lobbing them to her. And the egg cracked in her hands and it broke over her face and I got in bed that night high on weed. fucking drunk and I went, what if I gave my daughter COVID from an egg toss? I go, that would be the most horrific way to kill a child. Yeah, she got it from an egg toss. It broke in her face. Her dad did COVID."

So this jog, You started the park and it was like, and I'll do it like this for you. You went like, down hell like this, down hell like this, down hell like this. And then it was like a little steep incline to get to the beginning of it. So it was like a little like nice, like lower back pain. You're like, okay, okay. And then the jog was perfect. And you did it four times. It was four miles. I loved it. My very first day, I did it. A butterfly got in front of me. It's like six in the morning. So yeah, six in the morning. The butterfly got in front of me. And it ran the whole first mile in front of me. And I just, it was like so surreal. It would disappear and then it would show back up in front of me. You sure it was real? Definitely real. And then the next day, and so I go, I'm on the right path. I'm on the right path. The next day I go for a jog, six in the morning, and it rained. And as I'm doing the steep uphill incline, a tree collapsed in front of me. Just went, and I went, whoa, a tree fell in the woods and I was here to see it. Shut the fuck up. I was like, that's crazy and it didn't hit me. I'm on the right path and then I started getting overthinking it like the next day I saw condom and I was like, this is a good place to do it. I was like, people fucked here last night. But, but yeah, that was one of the best jogs I've ever had. I could do that. I could run that park every single day and no one jogged that park in Serbia."

And we can also work out, we can do everything, but like, let's do hip hop dance. And Joe Adam Lee was like, that's a horrible idea. I will not do that. And then Tom and Ari, just whatever, they were like, yeah, I side with Joe, we'll do something else. And then I was like, but I knew I liked hip hop dance. And so I was like, I'm gonna take hip hop dance lessons anyway. I'm gonna just do it over sober October and I'm just gonna, I'm gonna fucking do it. And then maybe I'll do a hip hop dance video and then show it to them and let them rate me. And then we did it and it was $1,200 for hip hop dance lessons for like a month or whatever for like a couple weeks. And then when we did it, I thought, you know what, I bet we could put tour dates next to this. Cause it's, it was, it turned out being like kind of good, but kind of funny. I thought we could put tour dates next to this. And it was the beginning of me figuring out the whole like, my promos were short and quick. And they were always like something silly. What's up guys? It's your boy Burke, right? Sure. And then that one blew up and immediately, I was announcing the tour and immediately every tour date sold out. And then every, we added shows that day we added shows and every one of those sold out. And I was like, whoa. And then Tom was like, the fuck was that? And I was like, I think I just sold out my whole fucking tour. And, and then Tom, and then when Tom did his one like that and put his tour dates on it went over the top. He sold out his tours and and he was like whoa, he's like do I sold out every fucking show we've added shows I'm doing like an arena here and this is before we were doing arena So I was like shut the fuck up and that changed my game where I was like all right So everything's gotta be and then and then I was like I don't mind spending a little money and then the next one I did was the marching band And I was just like and but it was you know, it's real crazy. I just said Can you guys get me a marching band? And they were like, yeah, it's like 2400 bucks. I go, cool. And they're like, what do you want them to do? And I go, I don't know. We'll figure it out. And they came over and they had outfits. And they were like, so what do you want us to play? I go, what song do you guys know? And then they didn't even know each other. They were all hired people. And they were like, rubber band man. And I was like, oh, sure. Yeah. And then we just scripted it out. I was like, all right, I'll pretend it's a regular thing. Let's don't wait till I walk out and then I'll blow a whistle. And then you come out with the dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum. And then, and then we got like two videos out of that and that sold out dates and then I was like, fuck. And then, and then, and then, and then, and then the real baller one, the fucking real one, the real one was I tore all the muscles in my arm going into, into shooting the movie and I ripped all the tricep muscles off and they were retracted. So I had to go in for surgery and the anesthesiologist said to me, the night before, he's like, what music do you want going in, going under? And I was like, what? And he goes, you can pick your music going under. I said, wait, hold on. What is it? Like, I go, is it like casual? And he was like, yeah. I said, I'm doing a promo read going under. He goes, what do you mean? I said, I'll explain it to you tomorrow, but I'm going to, I'm not going to count backwards. I'm just going to do a promo read until I pass out and my phone's going to fall on the ground. All I need you to do is hit stop record and. So they rolled me into surgery. I had red rocks. I had only sold like 75% of red rocks, which is the biggest, 10,000, the biggest venue I'd ever played in. And I rolled in with my thing with CCR playing in the background. And I just was like, I was like, I lay here on this mat or on this steel pile. I was terrified as I go into surgery. I want you to know one thing. I'm playing Red Rock September 10th, and I started doing my promo read and he was like, yeah, I go Jimmy Buffett's there the night before and the night after. He's like, for real? I go, yeah, you want to come? He's like, hell, yeah. He's like, all right. He's like, you're going under. And he hits it. I go, sure. And I dropped the phone. I woke up out of surgery. And the first thing I said is, where's my phone? And he goes, you got it. And Leigh-Anne's like, I've already watched it. It's good. And I went, for real? And so that was a big one.

That's one of the biggest, larger scale deployed systems that exist for AI. And really what you see is if you look across all of the things that are happening in the industry, there's this new compute platform coming. And it's not just about CPUs or GPUs or TPUs or NPUs or IPUs or whatever, all the PUs, right? It's about how do we program these things, right? And so for software folks like us, right, it doesn't do us any good if there's this amazing hardware that we can't use. And one of the things you find out really quick is that having the theoretical capability of programming something and then having the world's power and the innovation of all the smart people in the world get unleashed on something can be quite different. And so really where Mojo came from was starting from a problem of we need to be able to take machine learning, take the infrastructure underneath it and make it way more accessible, way more usable, way more understandable by normal people and researchers and other folks that are not themselves like experts in GPUs and things like this. And then through that journey, we realized, hey, we need syntax for this."

So one of the main features of the language, I say so fully in jest is that it allows you to have the file extension to be an emoji or the fire emoji, which is one of the first emojis used as a file extension I've ever seen in my life. And then you ask yourself the question, why in the 21st century are we not using Unicode for file extensions? This means it's an epic decision. I think clearly the most important decision made in most, but you could also just use Mojo as the file extension."

And I have faith that Git can be improved. So I'm not sure. And so GitHub is fine. GitHub is fine, yeah. GitHub is fine, Visual Studio Code, Windows, like all this stuff, totally ready because people have internationalization in their normal part of their path. So this is just like taking the next step, right? Somewhere between, oh wow, that makes sense. Cool, I like new things too. Oh my God, you're killing my baby. Like what are you talking about? This can never be, like I can never handle this. How am I gonna type this, like all these things. And so this is something where I think that the world will get there.

And so you use the dog and the cow emoji together, and that could be your variable name. But of course the internet went and made pile of poop for everything. So if you wanna name your function pile of poop, then you can totally go to town and see how that gets through code review."

"from": "human",
"value": "Okay, so let me just ask a bunch of random questions. So is Mojo primarily designed for AIs, or is it a general purpose programming?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Yeah, good question, yeah, good question. So it's AI first. And so AI is driving a lot of the requirements. And so Modular is building and designing and driving Mojo forward. And it's not because it's an interesting project theoretically to build, it's because we need it. And so at Modular, we're really tackling the AI infrastructure landscape and the big problems in AI. And the reasons that it is so difficult to use and scale and adopt and deploy and all these big problems in AI. And so we're coming at it from that perspective. Now, when you do that, when you start tackling these problems, you realize that the solution to these problems isn't actually an AI specific solution. And so while we're doing this, we're building Mojo to be a fully general programming language. And that means that you can obviously tackle GPUs and CPUs and these AI things, but it's also a really great way to build NumPy and other things like that. Or just if you look at what many Python libraries are today, often they're a layer of Python for the API and they end up being C and C++ code underneath them. That's very true in AI, that's true in lots of other domains as well. And so anytime you see this pattern, that's an opportunity for Mojo to help simplify the world"

"from": "gpt",

Okay, what Modular is about is, it's about taking AI and up leveling it into the next generation, right? And so if you take a step back, what's gone on in the last five, six, seven, eight years is that we've had things like TensorFlow and PyTorch and these other systems come in, you've used them, you know this. And what's happened is these things have grown like crazy and they get tons of users. It's in production deployment scenarios, it's being used to power so many systems. I mean, AI is all around us now. It used to be controversial years ago, but now it's a thing. But the challenge with these systems is that they haven't always been thought out with current demands in mind. And so you think about it, where were LLMs eight years ago? Well, they didn't exist, right? AI has changed so much and a lot of what people are doing today are very different than when these systems were built. And meanwhile, the hardware side of this has gotten into a huge mess. There's tons of new chips and accelerators and every big company's announcing a new chip every day, it feels like. And so between that, you have like moving system on one side, moving system on the other side and it just turns into this gigantic mess, which makes it very difficult for people to actually use AI, particularly in production deployment scenarios. And it's what modular is doing is we're helping build out that software stack to help solve some of those problems so then people can be more productive and get more AI research into production. Now, what Mojo does is it's a really, really, really important piece of that. And so that is part of that engine and part of the technology"

And chose not to and went with VS Code. You're touching on deep religions, right? Anyway, tabs is an interesting design decision and so you've really written a new programming language here. Yes, it is a super set of Python, but you can make a bunch of different interesting decisions here. Totally, yeah. And you chose actually to stick with Python as in terms of some of the syntax."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Yeah, well, so let me explain why, right? So I mean, you can explain this in many rational ways. I think that the indentation is beautiful, but that's not a rational explanation, right? But I can defend it rationally, right? So first of all, Python 1 has millions of programmers. Yeah. It is huge, it's everywhere, it owns machine learning, right? And so factually, it is the thing, right? Second of all, if you look at it, C code, C++ code, Java, whatever, Swift, curly brace languages, also run through formatting tools and get indented. And so if they're not indented correctly, first of all, we'll twist your brain around, it can lead to bugs. There's notorious bugs that have happened across time where the indentation was wrong or misleading and it wasn't formatted, right? And so it turned into an issue, right? And so what ends up happening in modern large scale code bases is people run automatic formatters. So now what you end up with is indentation and curly braces. Well, if you're gonna have the notion of grouping, why not have one thing, right? And get rid of all the clutter and have a more beautiful thing, right? Also you look at many of these languages, it's like, okay, well you can have curly braces or you can omit them if there's one statement or you just like enter this entire world of complicated design space that objectively you don't need"

But frankly, right, come back to the first point, Python one, like it's huge, it's an AI, it's the right thing. For us, like we see Mojo as being an incredible part of the Python ecosystem. We're not looking to break Python or change it or quote unquote fix it. We love Python for what it is. Our view is that Python is just not done yet. And so if you look at, you know, you mentioned Python being slow. Well, there's a couple of different things that go into that, which we can talk about if you want. But one of them is that it just doesn't have those features that you would use to do C-like programming. And so if you say, okay, well, I'm forced out of Python into C for certain use cases, well, then what we're doing is we're saying, okay, well, why is that? Can we just add those features that are missing from Python back up to Mojo? And then you can have everything that's great about Python, all the things you're talking about that you love, plus not be forced out of it when you do something a little bit more computationally intense"

{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "So Python is just in time compilation, what's Mojo? So Mojo is a complicated answer, it does all the things. So it's interpreted, it's shit compiled, and it's statically compiled. And so this is for a variety of reasons. So one of the things that makes Python beautiful is that it's very dynamic. And because it's dynamic, one of the things they added is that it has this powerful metaprogramming feature. And so if you look at something like PyTorch or TensorFlow or I mean, even a simple use case, like you'd find a class that has the plus method, right? You can overload the dunder methods like dunder add, for example, and then the plus method works on your class. And so it has very nice and very expressive dynamic metaprogramming features. In Mojo, we want all those features come in. Like we don't want to break Python, we want all to work. But the problem is, is you can't run those super dynamic features on an embedded processor or on a GPU, right? Or if you could, you probably don't want to just because of the performance. And so we entered this question of saying, okay, how do you get the power of this dynamic metaprogramming into a language that has to be super efficient in specific cases? And so what we did was we said, okay, we'll take that interpreter, Python has an interpreter in it. Right? Take that interpreter and allow it to run at compile time. And so now what you get is you get compile time metaprogramming. And so this is super interesting and super powerful because one of the big advantages you get is you get Python style, expressive APIs. you get the ability to have overloaded operators. If you look at what happens inside of PyTorch, for example, with automatic differentiation and eager mode and all these things, they're using these really dynamic and powerful features at runtime. But we can take those features and lift them, so that they run at compile time."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "So your C++ is metaprogramming with templates,"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "but it's really messy. It's super messy. It was accidentally, I mean, different people have different interpretations. My interpretation is that it was made accidentally powerful. It was not designed to be Turing complete, for example, but that was discovered along the way accidentally. So there have been a number of languages in the space, and so they usually have templates or code instantiation, code copying features of various sorts. Some more modern languages or some more newer languages, let's say, they're fairly unknown, like Zig, for example, says, okay, well, let's take all of those types that you can run it, all those things you can do at runtime, and allow them to happen at compile time. So one of the problems with C++, I mean, which is one of the problems with C++. Here we go. Wrong words. We're going to send everybody to it. That's okay. I mean, everybody hates me for a variety of reasons anyways, I'm sure. I've written enough. Just the way they show love. I've written enough C++ code to earn a little bit of grumpiness with C++. But one of the problems with it is that the meta programming system templates is just a completely different universe from the normal runtime programming world. So if you do a meta programming and programming, it's just like a different universe. Different syntax, different concepts, different stuff going on. So again, one of our goals with Mojo's to make things really easy to use, easy to learn."

If you go back to Lisp, one of the most powerful things about it is that it said that the metaprogramming and the programming are the same.

This is why it became a metaprogramming problem. You want to be able to say, cool, I have this neural net. Now run it with batch size 1,000. Do a mapping across batch. Or okay, I want to take this problem, now run it across 1,000 GPUs. This problem of describe the compute and then map it and do things and transform it, actually it's very profound, and that's one of the things that makes machine learning systems really special."

How do you pull off autotuning? Is that as profound as I think it is? It seems like a really... We'll mention list comprehensions. To me, from a quick glance at Mojo, which by the way, I have to absolutely dive in. As I realize how amazing this is, I absolutely must dive in."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "That looks like just an incredible feature for machine learning people. Yeah. Well, so what is autotuning? Take a step back. Autotuning is a feature in Mojo. Very little of what we're doing is actually research. Many of these ideas have existed in other systems and other places, and so what we're doing is we're pulling together good ideas, remixing them, and making them into hopefully a beautiful system. So autotuning, the observation is that it turns out hardware systems, algorithms are really complicated. It turns out maybe you don't actually want to know how the hardware works. A lot of people don't. There are lots of really smart hardware people, I know a lot of them, where they know everything about, okay, the cache size is this, and the number of registers is that, and if you use this length of vector, it's going to be super efficient because it maps directly onto what it can do. All this kind of stuff. The GPU has SMs, and it has a warp size of whatever. All the stuff that goes into these things, or the tile size of a TPU is 128, these factoids. My belief is that most normal people, and I love hardware people also, I'm not trying to fen literally everybody on the internet, but most programmers actually don't want to know this stuff. So if you come at it from perspective of how do we allow people to build both more abstracted but also more portable code, because it could be that the vector length changes, or the cache size changes, or it could be that the tile size of your matrix changes, or the number in A100 versus an H100 versus a Volta versus a whatever GPU have different characteristics. A lot of the algorithms that you run are actually the same, but the parameters, these magic numbers you have to fill in end up being really fiddly numbers that an expert has to go figure out. So what autotuning does, it says, okay, well, guess what? There's a lot of compute out there. So instead of having humans go randomly try all the things, or do a grid search, or go search some complicated multi-dimensional space, how about we have computers do that? And so what autotuning does is you can say, hey, here's my algorithm. If it's a matrix operation or something like that, you can say, okay, I'm going to carve it up into blocks, I'm going to do those blocks in parallel, and I want this with 128 things that I'm running on, I want to cut it this way or that way or whatever."

But yeah, if you're so one, one of one of the things that we're in the quest of is ultimate performance. Yes. Right. Ultimate performance is important for a couple of reasons, right? So if you're an enterprise, you're looking to save costs and compute and things like this, ultimate performance translates to fewer servers. Like if you care about the environment, hey, better performance leads to more efficiency, right? I mean, you could joke and say like, you know, Python's bad for the environment. Right. And so if you move to Mojo, it's like at least 10 X better just out of the box and keep going. Right. But but performance is also interesting because it leads to better products. And so in the space of machine learning, if you reduce the latency of a model so that it runs faster, so every time you query the server running the model, it takes less time, well, then the product team can go and make the model bigger. Well, that's actually makes it so you have a better experience as a customer. And so a lot of people care about that."

So if you're building so often what will happen is that, you know, you've written a bunch of software yourself, right? You you wake up one day, you say, I have an idea. I'm going to go cut up some code. I get to work. I forget about it and move on with life. I come back six months or a year or two years or three years later, you dust it off and you go use it again in a new environment. And maybe your GP is different. Maybe you're running on a server instead of a laptop, maybe whatever. Right. And so the problem now is you say, OK, well, I mean, again, not everybody cares about performance, but if you do, you say, OK, well, I want to take advantage of all these new features. I don't want to break the old thing, though. Right. And so the typical way of handling this kind of stuff before is, you know, if you're talking about people's templates, or you're talking about C with macros, you end up with if deaths, you get like all these weird things get layered in, make the code super complicated. And then how do you test it becomes this crazy complexity, multidimensional space you have to worry about? And, you know, that just doesn't scale very well."

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "How does it do that? How does it do that? Yeah, so I can even do more, but we'll get to that. So so first of all, when we say that we're talking about what's called C Python, it's the default Python that everybody uses when you type Python three. That's like typically the one you use. Right. So C Python is an interpreter. And so interpreters, they have an extra layer of bike codes and things like this that they have to go read, parse, interpret, and it makes them kind of slow from that perspective. And so one of the first things we do is we move to a compiler. And so I'm just moving to a compiler, getting the interpreter out of the loop is two to five to 10 X speed up depending on the code. So just out of the gate, like she's in more modern techniques. Now, if you do that, one of the things you can do is you can start to look at how CPython started to lay out data. And so one of the things that CPython did, and this isn't part of the Python spec necessarily, but this is just sets of decisions, is that if you take an integer, for example, it'll put it in an object because in Python, everything's an object. And so they do the very logical thing of keeping the memory representation of all objects the same. So all objects have a header, they have payload data, and what this means is that every time you pass around an object, you're passing around a pointer to the data. Well, this has overhead. It turns out that modern computers don't like chasing pointers very much and things like this. It means you have to allocate the data. It means you have to reference count it, which is another way that Python uses to keep track of memory. And so this has a lot of overhead. And so if you say, okay, pointer, let's try to get that out of the heap, out of a box, of the new direction, and into the registers."

And so then you lean into this and you say, OK, cool, well, modern computers, they can do more than one operation at a time. So they have vectors. What is a vector? Well, a vector allows you to take one, instead of taking one piece of data, doing an add or a multiply and then picking up the next one. You can now do 4, or 8, or 16, or 32 at a time. Well, Python doesn't expose that because of reasons. And so now you can say, OK, well, you can adopt that. And now you have threads. Now you have additional things, like you can control memory hierarchy. And so Moda allows you to do, is it allows you to start taking advantage of all these powerful things that have been built into the hardware over time and it gives, the library gives very nice features so you can say just parallelize this, do this in parallel, right? So it's very powerful weapons against slowness which is why people have been I think having fun like just taking code and making it go fast because it's just kind of an adrenaline"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "rush to see like how fast you can get things. Before I talk about some of the interesting stuff with parallelization and all that, let's first talk about like the basics. We talked to indentation, right? So this thing looks like Python. It's sexy and beautiful like Python as I mentioned. Is it a typed language? So what's the role of types? Yeah, good question."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "So yeah, good question. So Python has types, it has strings, it has integers, it has dictionaries and like all that stuff but they all live at runtime, right? And so because all those types live at runtime in Python you never, you don't have to spell them. Python also has like this whole typing thing going on now and a lot of people use it. I'm not talking about that. That's kind of a different thing. We can go back to that if you want. But typically the, you know, you just say I take, I have a def and my def takes two parameters and I'm gonna call them a and b and I don't have to write a type, okay? So that is great but what that does is that forces what's called a consistent representation. So these things have to be a pointer to an object with the object header and they all have to look the same. And then when you dispatch a method, when you go through all the same different paths no matter what the receiver, whatever that type is. So what Mojo does is it allows you to have more than one kind of type. And so what it does is allows you to say okay, cool. I have an object and objects behave like Python does, and so it's fully dynamic and that's all great. And for many things, classes like that's all very powerful and very important. But if you want to say hey it's an integer and it's 32 bits, or 64 bits, or whatever it is. Or it's a floating point value. It's 64 bits. Well then the compiler can take that and it can use that to do way better optimization. It turns out, again, getting rid of the indirection, that's huge, means you can get better code completion because compiler knows what the type is and so it knows what operations work on it. That's actually pretty huge. What Mojo does is it allows you to progressively adopt types into your program. You can start, again, it's compatible with Python. Then you can add however many types you want wherever you want them. And if you don't wanna deal with it you don't have to deal with it, right? And so one of our opinions on this is that it's not that types are the right thing"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "or the wrong thing, it's that they're a useful thing. Which was kind of optional, it's not strict typing and you don't have to specify type. Exactly. Okay, so starting from the thing that Python is kind of reaching towards right now with trying to inject types into it,"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "what it's doing. Yeah, with a very different approach but yes."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Yeah, so. What's the different approach, I'm actually one of the people that have not been using types very much in Python. So I haven't. Why did you say? It just, well, because I know the importance. It's like adults use strict typing. And so I refuse to grow up in that sense. It's a kind of rebellion. But I just know that."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "That's okay. Why did you say?"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "But it probably reduces the amount of errors, even just for forget about performance improvements."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "It probably reduces errors when you do strict typing. Yeah. So I mean, I think it's interesting if you look at that, right? The reason I'm giving you a hard time, is that there's this cultural norm, this pressure, there has to be a right way to do things. Growing up is only do it one way. And if you don't do that, you should feel bad. Some people feel like Python's a guilty pleasure or something. And that's like, when it gets serious, I need to go rewrite it. I mean, cool, I understand history and I understand kind of where this comes from, but I don't think it has to be a guilty pleasure. So if you look at that, you say, why do you have to rewrite it? Well, we have to rewrite to deploy. Well, why do you want to deploy? Well, you care about performance, or you care about perfectability or you want, a tiny thing on the server that has no dependencies or you know, you have objectives that you're trying to attain. So what if Python can achieve those objectives? So if you want types, well, maybe you want types because you want to make sure you're passing the right thing. Sure, you can add a type. If you don't care, you're prototyping some stuff, you're hacking some things out, you're like pulling some ram code off the internet, it should just work. And you shouldn't be pressured, you shouldn't feel bad about doing the right thing or the thing that feels good. Now, if you're in a team, you're working at some massive internet company and you have 400 million lines of Python code, well, they may have a house rule that you use types because it makes it easier for different humans to talk to each other and understand what's going on and bugs at scale. And so there are lots of good reasons why you might want to use types, but that doesn't mean that everybody should use them all the time. So what Mojo does is it says, cool, well, allow people to use types. And if you use types, you get nice things out of it, right? You get better performance and things like this, right? But Mojo is a full, compatible super set of Python, right? And so that means that has to work without types. It has to support all the dynamic things, has to support all the packages, it has to support list comprehensions and things like this, right? And so that that starting point, I think, is really important. And I think that, again, you can look at why I care so much about this, and there's many different aspects of that, one of which is the world went through a very challenging migration from Python 2 to Python 3, right? And this migration took many years, and it was very painful for many teams, right? And there's a lot of things that went on in that. I'm not an expert in all the details, and I honestly don't want to be. I don't want the world to have to go through that, right? And people can ignore Mojo, and if it's not their thing, that's cool. But if they want to use Mojo, I don't want them to have to rewrite all their code."

First of all, how's the typing implemented differently in Python versus Mojo? So this heterogeneous flexibility, you said, is definitely implemented."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "First of all, how is it definitely implemented? Yeah. So I'm not a full expert in the whole backstory on types in Python. So I'll give you that. I can give you my understanding. My understanding is basically, like many dynamic languages, the ecosystem went through a phase where people went from writing scripts to writing large scale, huge code bases in Python, and at scale, it kind of helps to have types. People want to be able to reason about interfaces. What do you expect to string or an int? These basic things, right? And so what the Python community started doing is it started saying, okay, let's have tools on the side, checker tools. Right? To go and enforce some variants, check for bugs, try to identify things. These are called static analysis tools generally, and so these tools run over your code and try to look for bugs. What ended up happening is there's so many of these things, so many different weird patterns and different approaches on specifying the types and different things going on that the Python community realize and recognize, hey, hey, hey, there's a thing here. And so what they started to do is they started to standardize the syntax for adding types to Python. Now, one of the challenges that they had is if they're coming from kind of this fragmented world where there's lots of different tools, they have different trade-offs and interpretations and the types mean different things. And so, if you look at types in Python, according to the Python spec, the types are ignored, right? So, according to the Python spec, you can write pretty much anything in a type position, okay? And technically, you can write any expression, okay. Now, that's beautiful because you can extend it. You can do cool things. build your own tools, you can build your own house, linter or something like that, right? But it's also a problem because any existing Python program may be using different tools and they have different interpretations. And so if you adopt somebody's package into your ecosystem, try around the tool you prefer, it may throw out tons of weird errors and warnings and problems just because it's incompatible with how these things work. Also because they're added late and they're not checked by the Python interpreter, it's always kind of more of a hint than it is a requirement. Also the CPython implementation can't use them for performance and so it's really-"

"from": "human",
"value": "That's a big one, right? So you can't utilize for the compilation,"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "for the just in time compilation. Okay. Exactly. And this all comes back to the design principle of it's, they're kind of hints, they're kind of the definitions a little bit murky. It's unclear exactly the interpretation in a bunch of cases. And so because of that, you can't actually, even if you want to, it's really difficult to use them to say like, it is going to be an int and if it's not, it's a problem, right? A lot of code would break if you did that. So in Mojo, right. So you can still use those kinds of type annotations, it's fine, but in Mojo if you declare a type and you use it, then it means it is going to be that type and the compiler helps you check that enforce it and it's safe."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "And it's not, it's not a best effort hint kind of a thing. So if you try to shove a string type thing into an integer- You get an error. And you get another."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "From the compiler at compile time. You get an error."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "And you get another. Nice."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Okay, what kind of basic types are there? Yeah, so Mojo is pretty hardcore in terms of what it tries to do in the language, which is the philosophy there is that we, again, if you look at Python, Python's a beautiful language because it's so extensible. And so all of the different things in Python, like for loops and plus, and all these things can be accessed through these underbar and bar methods. Okay, so you have to say, okay, if I make something that is super fast, I can go all the way down to the metal. Why do I need to have integers built into the language? And so what Mojo does is it says, okay, well, we can have this notion of structs. So you have classes in Python, now you can have structs. Classes are dynamic, structs are static. Cool, we can get high performance, we can write C++ kind of code with structs if you want. These things mix and work beautifully together. But what that means is that you can go and implement strings and ints and floats and arrays and all that kind of stuff in the language, right? And so that's really cool because, you know, to me as a idealizing compiler language type of person, what I wanna do is I wanna get magic out of the compiler and put it in the libraries. Because if somebody can, you know, if we can build an integer that's beautiful and it has an amazing API and it does all the things you'd expect an integer to do, but you don't like it, maybe you want a big integer, maybe you wanna like sideways integer, I don't know, like what all the space of integers are, then you can do that and it's not a second-class citizen. And so if you look at certain other languages like C++, one I also love and use a lot, int is hard-coded in the language, but complex is not. And so it's kind of weird that, you know, you have this STD complex class, but you have int. And complex tries to look like a natural numeric type and things like this, but integers in floating point have these like special promotion rules and other things like that, they're magic and they're hacked into the compiler. And because of that, you can't actually make something"

But what we're doing is we decided to release it early so that people can get access to and play with it, and we can build it with the community. We have a big roadmap, fully published, being transparent about this. And a lot of people are involved in this stuff. And so what we're doing is we're really optimizing for building this thing the right way and building it the right way. It's interesting working with the community, because everybody wants it yesterday."
},

"from": "human",

Sometimes the community probably can be very chaotic and introduce a lot of stress. Guido famously quit over the stress of the wall of his operator. I mean, it broke, maybe that would be, yeah, exactly. And so like, it could be very stressful to develop, but can you just tangent upon a tangent? Is it stressful to work through the design of various features here, given that the community is so richly involved?"

{
"from": "gpt",

Somehow this has happened to me. So I've learned some tricks, but the thing that always gets me is I want to make people happy. Right? And so this is maybe not all people all happy all the time, but generally I want people to be happy. Right? And so the challenge is that, again, we're tapping into some long, some deep seated long tensions and pressures, both in the Python world, but also in the AI world and the hardware world and things like this. And so people just want us to move faster, right? And so again, our decision was let's release this early. Let's get people used to it or access to it and play with it and like, let's build in the open, which we could have had the language monk sitting in the cloister up on the hilltop, like beavering away trying to build something. But in my experience, you get something that's way better if you work with the community. And so yes, it can be frustrating and can be challenging for lots of people involved. And, you know, if you, I mean, if you mentioned our Discord, we have over 10,000 people on the Discord, 11,000 people or something. Keep in mind we released Mojo like two weeks ago. So it's very active. So it's very cool. But what that means is that, you know, 10, 11,000 people all will want something different. And so what we've done is we've tried to say, okay, cool, here's our roadmap. The roadmap isn't completely arbitrary. It's based on here's the logical order in which to build these features or add these capabilities and things like that. And what we've done is we've spun really fast on bug fixes. And so we actually have very few bugs, which is cool. I mean, actually for a project in the state, but then what we're doing is we're dropping in features very deliberately. I mean, this is cool."

So, the, the other performance improvement comes from immutability. So what's the, what's this var and this let thing that we got going on?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "What's immutability? Yeah. So, one of the things that is useful and it's not always required, but it's useful is knowing whether something can change out from underneath you. Right? And so in Python you have a pointer to an array, right? And so you pass that pointer to an array around to things. If you pass into a function, they may take that and scroll away in some other data structure. And so you get your array back and you go to use it and now somebody else is like putting stuff in your array. Yeah. How do you reason about that? It can be very complicated and at least lots of bugs, right? And so one of the things that, you know, again, this is not something Mojo forces on you, but something that Mojo enables is a thing called value semantics. And what value semantics do is they take collections like arrays, like dictionaries, also tensors and strings and things like this that are much higher level and make them behave like proper values. And so it makes it look like if you pass these things around, you get a logical copy of all the data. And so if I pass you an array, it's your array. You can go do what you want to it. You're not going to hurt my array. Now that is an interesting and very powerful design principle, defines away a ton of bugs. You have to be careful to implement it in an efficient way."

},
{
"from": "gpt",

"from": "human",
"value": "How do you do that?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "How do you do that? It's not magic. It's just, it's actually pretty cool. Well, so first, before we talk about how that works, let's talk about how it works in Python. So in Python, you define a person class or maybe a person class is a bad idea. You define a database class, right? The database class has an array of records, something like that. And so the problem is, is that if you pass in a record or a class instance into database, it'll take a hold of that object and then it assumes it has it. And if you're passing an object in, you have to know that that database is going to take it. And therefore you shouldn't change it after you put in the database. This is the problem. You just kind of have to know that. You just have to kind of know that, right? And so you roll out version 1 of the database, you just kind of have to know that. Of course, Lex uses its own database, right? Yeah. Right? Because you built it. You understand how this works, right? Somebody else joins the team. They don't know this. Yes. Right? And so now they suddenly get bugs. You're having to maintain the database. You shake your fist. Mm-hmm. You argue the tenth time this happens. You're like, okay, we have to do something different, right? And so what you do is you go change your Python code and you change your database class to copy the record every time you add it. And so what ends up happening is you say, okay, I will do what's called a defensive copy inside the database. And then that way, if somebody passes something in, I will have my own copy of it. And they can go do whatever, and they're not going to break my thing. Okay. This is usually the two design patterns. If you look in PyTorch, for example, this is cloning a tensor. There's a specific thing, and you have to know where to call it. And if you don't call in the right place, you get these bugs, and this is state of the art, right? Right? Yeah. So a different approach. So it's used in many languages. So I work with it in Swift. As you say, okay, well, let's provide value semantics. And so we want to provide the view that you get a logically independent copy. But we want to do that lazily. And so what we do is we say, okay, if you pass something into a function, it doesn't actually make a copy. What it actually does is it just increments the reference to it. And if you pass it around, you stick in your database, they can go into the database. You own it. And then you come back out of the stack, nobody has copied anything. You come back out of the stack and then the caller lets go of it. Well, then you've just handed it off to the database. you've transferred it, and there's no copies made. Now on the other hand, if your coworker goes and hands you a record and you pass it in, you stick it in the database, and then you go to town and you start modifying it, what happens is you get a copy lazily on demand. And so what this does is gives you copies only when you need them, so it defines away"
