Mojo 1.0.0b1 is live with decimal/crypto/Kafka bindings; Hippocratic AI hit 22% latency improvement on MAX, signaling production-ready inference infrastructure.
Summary
Developers can now build end-to-end Mojo applications without Python intermediaries—stdlib coverage and third-party libraries eliminate handoff friction. Concrete latency wins validate MAX as a real alternative to generic inference platforms.

Implementation verdict
Decimo, MSL, Thistle, and mojo-kafka replace manual Python wrapping and C FFI glue. Requires Mojo 1.0.0b1, conda/pixi for dependency management. Worth adopting now if you're standardizing on Mojo for numerical or systems work; stdlib stability markers are still in progress, so expect API churn on stdlib PRs until 1.0 stable lands.
