Seth and Photon present how the Mojo programming language is used for high-performance bioinformatics alignment and particle physics simulations.

In our June community meeting, we featured two in-depth presentations on how Mojo is being applied in scientific computing: 🧬 Bioinformatics with Mojo: Seth walked us through ish, a high-performance, index-free alignment tool built in Mojo. He shared insights on SIMD optimizations, GPU acceleration, and benchmarking against C++ libraries like Parasail. ⚛️ Particle Physics with Mojo: Photon shared how Mojo is helping streamline complex particle physics simulations. He introduced two open-source libraries, newmojo and hepjo, and discussed porting a C++/Python research pipeline to Mojo with promising performance gains. We also announced Modular Hack Weekend (June 27–29), open to developers worldwide. With NVIDIA GPUs up for grabs and free compute from Lambda, it's a great chance to build Mojo kernels, MAX Graph models, and PyTorch custom ops.

…an directly call it from Python (https://docs.modular.com/mojo/manual/python/mojo-from-python/) which makes it a great way to take slow python code and make it go faster: without bindings, switching to semicolons and curly braces, etc. Mojo then lets you get it onto a GPU, which some community members have been doing in spaces like bioinformatics(link to this video - a bit different than AI. 2. We oversold Mojo as a Python superset too early and realized that we should focus on what Mojo can do for people TODAY, not what it will grow into. As such, we currently explain Mojo as a language that's great for making stuff go fast on CPUs and GPUs. I discussed this a bit on a recent podcast (link to this video 3. Moj…

Hi Folks, Chris Lattner here from the Modular team, I'd like to clarify a few things. This isn't to try to convince you to use and fall in love with Mojo, just setting some things straight :-) 1) Mojo is absolutely a general purpose language. One of the things people like about Mojo is you can \directly call it from Python\ which makes it a great way to take slow python code and make it go faster: without bindings, switching to semicolons and curly braces, etc. Mojo then lets you get it onto a GPU, which some \community members have been doing in spaces like bioinformatics\ - a bit different than AI. 2) We oversold Mojo as a Python superset too early and realized that we should focus…
