> they intended to make it compatible with existing Python code

That was the original claim, but it was quietly removed from the website. (Did they fall for the common “Python is a simple language” misconception?).

Now they promise I can “write like Python”, but don’t even support fundamentals like classes (which are part of stage 3 of the roadmap, but they’re still working on stage 1).

Maybe Mojo will achieve all its goals, but so far has been over-promising and under-delivering - it’s starting to remind me of the V language.
