> Finally, we will continue to progressively open-source more of the Mojo language, as well as components in MAX that we have built with it. Our commitment remains unchanged – we will open source the Mojo compiler and toolchain in 2026.

Why not now though? Why wait for 4 more months? What magic is there to hide in just making it source available at least.

It's probably very messy and not a great baseline for outside contributors to start create PRs.

That's the favorable interpretation, atleast.

My guess is that the compiler will be opened next week at Modcon. Honestly? I'm surprised Mojo 1.0 is being released now; I had thought it would be released at Modcon along with the compiler source code, but oh well, 18th August isn't far now.
