On “Which Programming Languages Use the Least Electricity? (2018)”
> Almost 0% chance any reputable company relies on something like go or swift to drive an automobile out on public roads. You couldn’t be more wrong. Tesla hired the creator of Swift to run Autopilot software. He’s now at Google where he’s working on making Swift a primary language for TensorFlow.1 1 link to this video

On “Mojo might be the biggest thing to happen in programming for decades”
Exactly. Lattner himself has been involved in some of this - Swift for Tensorflow comes to mind. I'm old enough to remember when Swift for Tensorflow was going to be the new ML language hotness: link and link to this video
