This week we hosted a livestream with many good questions from the community. People were most interested in macOS support for MAX, and GPU support. These are both top priority at Modular so stay tuned! The standard library team were happy to announce that we've had 250 OSS contributions since open sourcing, we continue to be impressed and motivated by our active community!

Yesterday marked Mojo🔥's first birthday 🎂, launching last year on May 2, 2023. We launched with just an online Jupyter environment and have since released the SDK locally for macOS and Linux on arm64 and x86, and bought up our inference and serving stack MAX⚡️. Yesterday we released Mojo and MAX 24.3 to mark the occasion, along with the first community contributions, 32 of which made it into the official changelog. We're so excited to go on this journey out in the open with our amazing community, thank you to everyone who has been participating!

Open source contributions are starting to ramp up, thank you so much to the community for embracing Mojo🔥 open source and improving the language!

Check out the latest Mojo nightly changelog since latest stable release and diff since the last nightly release.

It's been a big week for content and open source contributions, check out everything that's been going on in the ModVerse!

Last week we released Max⚡ and Mojo🔥 24.2 along with open sourcing the standard library and launching nightly builds, you can find all the related blogs below. We've already had around 50 PR's raised and 10 merged, thanks for all your interest and contributing to Mojo🔥! We've also been receiving a lot of high quality questions from users experimenting with the standard library, please check it out and ask any questions on the Discord!

In addition to Mojo syntax being merged to GitHub linguist, the JavaScript syntax highlighting library shiki has merged a Mojo definition. This is one of the best syntax highlighters for the web, and is also what VS Code uses. If you're building your own website with Mojo code snippets, give it a try!

Mojo syntax has been merged to GitHub linguist! This means syntax highlighting will work for Mojo files across GitHub in their next release.The repo containing code for Modular blog posts, videos, workshops, and tutorials has moved to devrel-extras. You can also catch up on old content there, each folder has a README that links to the original content.

It's been a quiet week for news across the ModVerse, as we've been busy getting something special ready. Stay tuned for an announcement later this week!

Last week, we released MAX Developer Edition Preview to the world! Thank you to everyone who has already tried it out, and for all the feedback. It was also a huge release for Mojo which included the debugger. Make sure to check out the blog posts below for more details about everything we released!
