Introduction 📰
Welcome to Issue 11 🎉
ModCon is less than one week away, and we've been crunching to land some extra features for Mojo 0.6.0 in preparation for the demos. The team is very excited to share what we've built!
Due to overwhelming demand and selling out tickets, we decided to livestream the keynote so that everyone can enjoy the announcements together. The videos from the smaller lightning talks will be released to YouTube at a later date. Chat will be disabled on YouTube so make sure to join the Discord where everyone will be hanging out in the #modcon channel.
