Introduction

Thanks for all the discussions and issues raised after the Mojo 0.7.0 release. We'll be hosting a livestream tomorrow to answer more of your questions. More details below!

Be sure to check out the new proposal for inferred parameters from Jeff to enable:

Mojo
fn scalar_func[inferred dt: DType, x: Scalar[dt]]() -> Scalar[dt]: return x * 2 print(scalar_func[Int64(5)]())

We open up proposals to the community, so you can comment and leave your input!
